Do you think that because nobody from the OpenBSD devs has done it, that means its not a good idea? If thats the case you don't much about how the work is done. There is a lot of good ideas, but only so many people and resources to get the job done. Now that you are asking, the patch and the idea behind the patch is very good. If used in combination with SSHfs it serves a very specifik purpose. A lot of people, including our company - who are providing support to the developement of OpenBSD, has been wanting to be able both to jail users who only need scp/sftp, and also prevent them from SSH in, now this can be done with a sftp-server shell, but jailing without trouble hasn't been possible, forcing other solutions less purposefull solutions. If you really understand and know that this is a bad idea, perhaps you wouldn't mind sharing that knowledge with the rest?
