And in fact, there's more than just the costs of doing it. There's also the costs

Obfuscating your OpenSSH versions is a *really* good way to make your security
scanners that flag backleveled systems fail to flag the systems.

Which can cause a really uncomfortable conversation with the CIO about why the
local newspaper's front page is running a story about how your organization got
totally pwned via a backleveled OpenSSH on one cluster of 5 servers.....
