You are making a connection between the OpenSSH problem and the general
idiocy of *some* more vocal FreeBSD people. I don't think this connection
really exists.
 
OpenSSH: is an annoyance in that it doesn't work on Linux or anything else
besides OpenBSD. This sucks, i agree.

FreeBSD: some people who like BSD are annoying in that they think that
Linux stuff should word with FreeBSD, but don't reciprocate by making
their stuff work with Linux. Annoying, but I don't think there's any
connection to the thing that sucks about OpenSSH.
