Double sigh from me.  We used to use the "none" encryption often  
within our network (LAN + VPN connections using IPsec) where it was  
more or less pointless.  With recent ssh  releases that feature was  
removed and now we are forced to pay the extra encryption penalty.

I for one would love to see it back.
