} I would say that doesn't really fit with what we want either, certainly
} without somebody really trying.  It breaks the rule that using ssh can

} component harder to reason about.

     I would say it is something that should be available as an
option (likely a command line option).  ssh/scp has pretty much
completely replaced rsh/rcp (other than for people that go out of
their way to use those); however, there are many things that get
copied around that are completely public where encrypting them for
data transfer is useless overhead.  That said you likely still want
passwords encrypted and integrity checks.
