I think the usefulness would be in high speed data transfer (not sftp) over
an arbitrary channel. Theres a number of cluster people on the beowulf list
that would love to have this. In many instances one may want secure
authentication, but not care about encrypting the data stream. This could
make a big difference in paramiko, as my workstation keeps one cpu at 70% to
run a channel at 100Mb. This of course depends on both sides allowing a None
cipher, which would limit usefulness right now.
