As the Debian OpenSSH maintainer, I consider it a bug; there are
certainly situations where you might want to disable encryption, for
example when you have full control over the network and you want to
maximise throughput but retain the convenience of ssh public-key
authentication. Note that '-c none' would disable bulk encryption for
the data transferred during the session, but would *not* disable
encryption of secrets during authentication.

Cheers,
