that number seems overstated; for openssh-3.2.3p1 i see:

$ kdsi *.[ch] openbsd-compat/*.[ch]
   43488     7044    10999    4442  total

but there's openssl etc.

openbsd native is another metric:

$ kdsi *.[ch]
   33752     5124     7771    3117  total

you are referring to insertion attacks due to CRC usage for data
integrity checking?  do you consider v1 to be fundamentally broken?
i do not, but obviously prefer v2 when available, and do push
vendors to support v2.

from:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/ssh.shtml

"If a review of any claimed protocol defects shows that SSHv1 protocol
in Cisco IOS is fundamentally broken, then Cisco will determine if it
is appropriate to migrate to SSHv2 at that time."
