Making SSH 2 the default is one thing. Removing SSH 1 as a fallback altogether is going to break compatibility with other systems like you'd never believe. For example, I regularly need to SSH into Solaris boxen running SSH 1. These machines aren't secure anyway, and since there's nothing I can do about it, I don't want any surprises when I upgrade.
