Right, but because of OpenSSH's dominance in the market, their experiments end
up being de facto MUST's for everyone else.  This is what happened with EtM-
OpenSSH, it got set as the only permitted mode by OpenSSH and/or some major
distros and then everyone had to implement it whether they wanted to or not
because without it they couldn't interoperate with a pile of servers.
