It's not that bad. IOS up until about 6 months ago only supported DES,
and you had to specifically compile DES support into your client (it's
not used by default, for very good reason). Nowadays, IOS comes with
3DES support, which is standard. They still don't use the default
algorithm (Blowfish), though, so you still have to specify it on the
commandline (ssh -c 3des).
