yes, it's a good fit in some circumstances (as is tinyssh) but is quite
limited, and I don't think it's likely to have been through anything
like the analysis that OpenSSH has been through (e.g. consider the lovely
detailed write-ups from Qualys for the things which they've investigated
and found issues with - and think how much more investigation must have
been done that hasn't resulted in anything that could be written up...)

"on the market" is an interesting term here - I don't think I would
want to be trusting something like this software to market forces.
I'd expect actual security and careful design to take a backseat to
tickbox marketing items.
