(2) is not useful, because you can't do SSH without all four drafts.

Remember that a certain set of folks will use telnet instead simply
because there's an RFC for telnet and there isn't one for SSH.

(1) is a possibility but needs to be worded very carefully (to not
scare telnet users away from deploying ssh).
