Maybe in 2019, when 1.0.2 will be reaching EOL, but definitely not now. 
I don't think anyone will be happy if openssh (1.0 only for now) is 
removed from oe-core, and everyone has to seek an additional layer to 
keep that and other things running.

1.0.2 is fully supported by upstream, and they will provide bugfixes for 
another 2.5 years. There is nothing wrong with keeping it in oe-core, 
unlike the gplv2 recipes which were both badly out of date and not 
really getting tested.
