But then the telnet _server_ would be up for removal, as this has no
legitimate uses (that I know of) that SSH doesn't provide.

I'd also appreciate an option where the authentication is encrypted,
but the data isn't (compare ftp-cmd (21) is crypted, but ftp-data (20)
is not). This would definitely reduce load on some heavily used sftp
servers, where I would otherwise need more iron to saturate my b/w.
