Because until very recently (if you look at the CVS files, the work was
started last month), some of the people working on the OpenBSD project
said that SECSH (ssh2) was too complicated, and didn't offer enough
benefits over ssh1 to make the work worth it.
Which of course ignores the fact that the ssh1 protocol is
patent-encumbered for a few more months, which is why I'm following the
LSH project.
Besides, competition is good. I need a stable non-rsa ssh work-alike, and
I'll use whichever I think is more stable for my purposes.
