This sounds very interesting...
I'm not deeply into OpenSSH but the only real reason for such a explicite
restriction could be any security reason - i.e. it may be more difficult to
"prove" code security with a dynamic buffer system or there are thinkable
additional security vectors to recognize, but this is just an assumption from
me. Another option may be incompatibility with any build option and/or target
arch.
But if this is not the case it wpuld be nice to have such a patch into the
openssh upstream.

Yes, this sounds really interesting as there is a need for bandwidth effective
/ fast transport alternatives to FTP in the world.

from my view i would recommend to realize that as configure / build options to
the openssh tarball from which i.e. distributors can realize different
packages.
Anyhow - good luck so far!
cheers,
Niels.
