I have some concern with the phrase "all supported protocol families".
I don't think it is wise to interpret that as "all protocol families
that getaddrinfo return". It should be IPv4, IPv6 and, beyond that,
only protocol families that *really* make sense to implementor and/or
local sysadm.

I meant "all protocol families supported by the SSH implementation" not "all protocol families supported by the platform".

For most current implementations that would probably be IPv4 or IPv4+IPv6 but there could be others if the implementation supports them.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
