This commit changed our sshd(8) default: now cleartext passwords are enabled.
I don't think this is what we want.

I do understand that complicated and non essential patches are too much work to maintain,
but this is simple and essential IMO. Hope you agree.

    Remove most local modifications from OpenSSH.
    
    This primarily removes the HPN patches. It's become too cumbersome to
    maintain these patches as demonstrated by the fact that we haven't
    updated OpenSSH in quite some time. If people want additional
    functionality in their OpenSSH, it's available in dports
    (security/openssh).
    
    Instead of just silently ignoring removed options in people's
    configurations, I decided to treat these as errors so that the admin
    will need to decide to remove it from their configuration or install the
    dport to get the functionality back.
