Well, I have strong suspicion about the reason. It seems that ssh
maintainers just leave !use_login case to be slowly rotten in time moving
towards use_login case. It is because login emulation is very different on
different machines, so it is much simple to just call external login
program, from code support perspective. But it not means that FreeBSD must
follow this path, there are almost no needs currently to call external
login, moreover it is not efficient and may cause auth duplication in
certain cases.
