I think that is what is called a straw-man argument.  If a device can be 
compromised in the way you suggest, then I am sure it will be replaced, 
but it will be replaced because it needs to be, not because its 
management interface cannot be accessed via the latest openssh.  
Disallowing use of openssh doesn't encourage people to throw away 
expensive gear, it encourages them to throw away new versions of openssh.
