I find it frustrating when those that don't understand the value of something patently reject it without research. FTP and other protocols make use of kerberos to authenticated securely then transmit the data in plaintext. This should be trivial to do in ssh, especially if using RSA/DSA key methods. I work in linux production datacenters and I know the value of this FEATURE for transferring bulk data over trusted networks or data that need not be secured. OpenSSh is flexible and easy way to perform network streams over my trusted network, but the encryption slows transfer and forces me to find other less secure, more difficult and redundant services to install and maintain. I don't think this should be default behavior but telling me that you reject out of hand that I am competent enough to make my own decisions about how I run services on my network is rather myopic. As far as you know is not far enough.
