telnet:
1. terrible code, with many abstraction violations

3. common use case is served by netcat, already in base.
4. too much superfluous functionality.
On the slower systems that we support, we avoid the lengthy (45min+)
ssh-keygen process so it's much quicker to get up and running with
things from scratch. Especially if you are testing from scratch regularly.
Am I the only one who uses telnet to make sure web servers are working
sometimes? I might need to learn how to do that with netcat or
something else.
