Security by obscurity is a bad thing to _rely_ on, but why make it any
easier to get information which is useful ? The less a cracker knows
about any system the more work/time it will take for them to break
into it.
Personally I only allow connections from hosts that need to connect to
ssh, so the rest wouldn't see it ... but if I notice this extra info
appearing on any of my machines, I'll get rid of it. It would be
easier if it wasn't there in the first place.
