It is not those systems, but other systems that need to communicate
with them (various "appliances" that may not see an SSH implementation
update in years) that may need ongoing blowfish support.

So we should tread with some care.  Perhaps the software-only Blowfish
is fast enough, but my point is that Blowfish is much less of an obvious
outdated cipher than the others...
