.. yet most likely if interacting with unix systems rely on OpenSSH.

why would relying on a feature from a vendor with known processor security issues, including undisclosed hidden application processors, for a feature which has marginal performance improvement and in some cases degredation be a preferable stance?

at best ambivalence towards this decision would be the position to take, esp. given the very recent 'oh hey fpu registers are also a problem' "discovery" which they were entirely correct about..
