Currently we have an alternate implementation of SSH based hosts, that is not selected by default. That implementation
is called ParamikoHost. It uses the Paramiko py implementation.

People at the fabric project (https://github.com/fabric/fabric) have forked the library, under the perception that the upstream maintainers are not responsive enough, see:

https://github.com/fabric/fabric/issues/275

So a fork was created, and called ssh. Here's the latest package:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ssh/1.7.9

Still could not find the actual git repo for that, but in any case, this all made me wonder if we should jump out of Paramiko and get into the ssh bandwagon.
