Exactly who are we targeting here?

Do we want people who don't know the basics of using ssh to be  
responsible for making network security decisions?  Wouldn't we  
prefer them to read the man page for ssh rather than consider network  
topology and security?

I think not knowing how to use ssh is a fine barrier to entry.
