I'd leave it saying that it isn't 100% compatible - it may sound
bad but it's true. There are several other things that aren't the
same: default options are different, some options have been removed
(AllowHosts is one that I know of), it produces warning messages
where the old ssh wouldn't have. I'm sure there are other differences
too.
