openssh does not support the "none" cipher. Any traces of it in the code
are legacy and/or paranoia.

There are 3rd party patches that add support for the "none" cipher. We
do not recommend their use, and obviously don't support them. This has
been discussed ad nauseum on this mailing list - please have a look at
the archives.
