Too bad the patch entirely removed avahi-browser , instead of using
upstream techniques (strict timeout, silent subshell, etc) to make it
work properly (or minize the issues). Now ssh tab completion is
*useless*, since ~/.ssh/known_hosts is hashed and /etc/hosts is usually
empty.  avahi-brower was the only source of useful lists.

It also affects all other tab completions that rely on
_known_hosts_real(), like ping. They are all useless now.

It should at least have made it optional. Lazy lazy patch...
