As an aside, I would really recommend you keep the "OpenSSH ..." at the
front, like what Debian does. A number of other SSH clients and server
enable/disable features and bug fixes based on what SSH peer they are
talking to. Debian sends:
SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.6.1p2 Debian 1:3.6.1p2-11
for it's identity string. After the OpenSSH_<ver> part of the string,
I think you can put pretty much anything you want. But removing the
OpenSSH part of this may cause interopability problems.
