And I think you must separate console access via SSH from the often-expected services like scp. The whole concept of VM virtual machines are alien to the pipe-like semantics of traditional ssh-based services. A virtual machine doesn't have access to the encrypted ssh tunnel itself, and so cannot use it to send data, nor does it have access to the identity of the remote end. Even the console traffic itself is problematic. "Should it be linemode or fullsreen? How to choose?"
