I'm adding it to plan.html, so I don't forget it.

No idea. There have been no recent discussions on the ietf ssh list, and
I don't follow openssh development.

But the ssh protocol is a bit special, since it encrypts the packet
length field. With cacha-poly1305, I think it's natural to use the left
over bits of block 0 and xor them to the packet length, but iirc openssh
used a separately keyed chacha instance instead.
