Comment (by bbjimmy):
HAIKU already has a reputation of lacking security. There is no need to
add to this.
It is generally considered to be a security risk to have an unrequested
network service open by default. Is there a valid reason to have an ssh
daemon running on a desktop computer that has just one user?
A simple bash script could be added to enable/disable sshd after install,
but at least give the user the option to enable or not.
