--- Comment #2 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
I don't think we want to do this at the moment.
Bracketed IPv6 addresses are mostly used when suffixed by port numbers
or when the address boundaries could be otherwise confused with
adjacent text (e.g. "scp [::1]:/bin/ls /tmp"), but ssh doesn't
support
host:port-style destinations and the only potentially adjacent
characters are the "user@" prefix.
If this changes then we'll certainly revisit this.
