My humble request would be for the SSH server's configuration to be tightened (no root login

I disagree that this should be a default. I can sort of see why someone might want that, though I never would. But I routinely *depend* on the ability to SSH into a newly installed box as root.

restrict logins to a particular group, say "ssh"

That seems much more useful. If you had that feature, and you really didn't want to allow root login by ssh, you could simply leave root out of the ssh group.
