As a side note, my impression is that gss-keyex has fallen out of favor,
and at least for us part of the problem is the unfortunate decision
to use MD5 in that protocol.  You and I both know that the use of MD5
in there isn't security related, but if you live in a FIPS world
then any use of MD5 is a "challenge".
