Given that I SSH via Tor a lot, that would suck for me. If too many
exits didn't allow port 22, anyway. As it is, it's not uncommon for SSH
logins via Tor to die. Presumably after some network hiccup.

And sure, I could setup .onion SSH for everything, and that'd arguably
be more secure. But sometimes I'm just too lazy for that.

Now that I'm thinking of it, though, I wonder whether I ought to change
SSH to port 443. That'd give me a larger exit population, which would be
good. But for anyone watching, my SSH sessions would be more unusual.

What would be the likely net impact of using port 443 for SSH?
