You wouldn't, but you would keep an old version of OpenSSH around if you need it. The announcement even notes that Debian provides a package for people who still need to connect using the SSHv1 protocol.

I'm not sure if my distro provides anything similar, but I got accustomed to using dropbear's dbclient to connect to gear OpenSSH is no longer able to. No idea if it supports DSA though.

I guess there might be other SSH clients out there which might be used for the same purpose. PuTTY maybe?

I tried Debian's openssh-client-ssh1 yesterday. Unfortunately it uses the same /etc/ssh/ssh_config as does Debian's openssh-client but ssh1 doesn't understand modern algorithms so it took some fiddling to switch back and forth between the modern ssh and older ssh1 commands even though they can be co-installed.

Yeah, it wasn't so much of a problem at the time of the split but it is now. I might have a look into getting it to use separate config files.
