SSHv1's exponent is always 35

Every time I connect to an SSHv1 server and get the public key modulo /
exponent, the exponent is always 35. Should it be?

The SSHv1 spec states that the public (and server) exponent should be
transmited as an mpint. Why bother transmiting it at all if it's
always going to be 35? Or why not transmit it as a regular 32-bit
integer as opposed to an mpint?
