True that DES does a fabulous job in keeping OpenSSH stable. But 
problems do occasionally occur and if such a problem -say- locks you 
out of a remote machine it means a royal PITA. Something like that.

War prosperity is like the prosperity that an earthquake or a plague
brings. The earthquake means good business for construction workers,
and cholera improves the business of physicians, pharmacists, and
undertakers; but no one has for that reason yet sought to celebrate
earthquakes and cholera as stimulators of the productive forces in
the general interest. -- Ludwig von Mises
