I'm really looking forward to libopenssh. It's painful to fork/exec ssh and control it, and reimplementations like Python's paramiko don't provide compatibility with things like ~/.ssh/config.

(A similar problem applies to dhclient and dnsmasq versus the built-in DHCP client and server in systemd-networkd. We need more libraries.)

Paramiko supports at least a subset of ~/.ssh/config, which is what lets me use Fabric to control machines that need a ProxyCommand to access.
