The problem with taking it out is there is another field after it,
I think at this stage since kbdint is widely deployed you would have
to change the SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_INFO_REQUEST to a new number and leave
the old one for backwards compat - similar to what was done for the
group exchange draft.  What you have in this revision is fine by me,
since it is clear that it can still be sent and and makes it clear
what the intent is when it is sent.

I assume you are just saying to remove it from SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST
but not from SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_INFO_REQUEST the rest of the doc and the
examples seem to indicate this is your intent.
