    We use CVS for web/ftp site mirroring and we use SSH to tunnel CVS
    connections. All data in CVS is publically available from our web or
    ftp site. Mirroring with tools like wget or rsync doesn't work for
    us. Some CVS modules are quite large (e.g. 1:30 hr download). While
    encryption overhead is very small, turning encryption off should
    still cut a few minutues off download time.

    So here's a legitimate reason to want "cipher=none" back.

change your mind later, run                        -- magicfilter config script
