The legacy code I'm referring to is code they inherited from Tatu Ylönen
and have worked diligently to improve over the last 15 years.  But SSH1
is a shitty protocol and too different from SSH2 to be easily integrated
into a single framework.  There really isn't much point in expending any
more effort on it.

You mean like net/tcpdump398, which was forked from net/tcpdump because
some people liked its output format better than that of tcpdump 4, and
then forgotten, and is known to have dozens of security vulnerabilities?
