openssh unix dev - Mar 2006 - auto passphrase

Hello,
I was wondering why we do not have an option to privide the passphrase
(RSA) as a parameter to ssh (on windows ssh.exe)
Is there a reason for that.

I looked at the code. It is very easy to provide such functionality.

Regards,
Gevik.

On many platforms (and I don't know if this includes Windows) it's
trivial
for other users to find out what the arguments to any running program is.
