The version of sshd in FreeBSD 8.4 is not backward compatible with older
version from 8.3.
OpenSSH_5.4p1 (on FreeBSD 8.3)
OpenSSH_6.1p1 (on FreeBSD 8.4)

VersionAddendum
It was OK in older versions. It will remove any default text appended to
SSH protocol banner (for example 'FreeBSD-20120901').

access!
I think this change is worth to mention in Release Notes
