Subject: What happened to ssh2?

X-Bullshit: flexible standard-based ORM over ORM enhancement module 

I've had some success connecting to modern Linux machines that are
ssh2-only with github.com/mattn/sshgo, but while looking into if I
could make it a little smarter about things like getting credentials
from factotum or stripping \r from the output, I noticed that Plan 9
already has an ssh2 command which is missing from 9front.

Why was it removed? Is there an alternative that's already part of the
base system I could use instead of having to write something?
