Add another sentence. Preface with your actual reaction. The subtext can be avoided better being explicit than being clever with your wording.

I mostly agree. But I think making it explicit that sshd is your idea and the implementation is their idea does a lot to make both parties territorial and perhaps oppositional.

I also prefer taking the altruistic approach in most cases. But it occurs to me: if the obvious solution were the best one, would there even be a problem to discuss? ;)
