Unfortunately openssh is quite a bit bigger than the standard ssh, because openssl isn't exactly the slimmest crypto library in the world :-) But, it would definitely be a cool thing.

Entirely sensible suggestion. I mean, OpenBSD has hangman in the kernel debugger.

If you want a better fixit floppy, you should consider the new custom disk pair with PicoBSD (see picobsd(8) in -CURRENT). It includes everything on the old fixit floppy, also real tar and a number of other programs, including rsh. There's still space on there; what else could we put there?
