OK read the thread and the general feeling is
1 Why use SSH1 when 2 is available
2 Don't enable SSH1 fallback in SSH2
3 People make money from selling products and services ( Sorry but that sort of thing 
pays my bills )
4 It's OK to log into a server running SSH1 ( of course it is. the sysadmin has the 
problems not the clients)

That's what I got from the thread but I could have miss some thing
