Monoculture, not trust, was the issue raised by the comment to which I first replied. Even those who find the character of the OpenSSH maintainers unassailable might wish for competing implementations because this facilitates experimentation and limits the damage a mistake in one implementation can do. I was pointing out that we already have alternatives, not recommending one over another.
