I just don't understand all this hate towards Canonical. You can turn it off. Yes it was awkwardly rolled out but you can turn it off. What about google search as you type? Google Analytics, hell even the Ghostery plugin tracks data. Is this just the joy of supporting the underdog then hating them when they succeed? Now I don't work for Ubuntu, I don't use Ubuntu (I do use Mint which is derived from Ubuntu). When I think about the things that Apple and Microsoft have done and do I really think adding remote search is really low on the offense list. I mean they aren't making chemical weapons! Again most of this comment is I just don't get all the hate.
This is really neat. Its extendeding the concept of screen to the network in a transparent way. I am going to play with it with some of my more unstable hosts located in Beijing.

My only thought is even with password auth. turned off hostile persons can still connect to the ssh daemon and might discover and unknown vulnerability or some type of dos. If you know someone is trouble why let them in even if you are wearing armor?
