Thus spake "Priscilla Oppenheimer" <po@priscilla.com>
It's egregious that SSH isn't standard in all IOS images, especially when you consider that choosing the right image is almost an NP-complete problem even with feature navigator! :-)
There are plenty of folks at Vendor C that would love crypto in every image, but that would run afoul of export regulations; the BXA has lightened up, particularly for open source projects, but it's still not trivial to export commercial crypto. Vendor C's anemic flash and RAM limitations in various platforms also restricts what's possible to put in a default image. The code continues to bloat, so it's only going to get worse.
