Hi,

These are listed as optional dependencies, and Net::OpenSSH first checks
to see if the modules exist/load before trying to use those specific
features, and fails gracefully otherwise.  So it's not a true
dependency.

My use-case for Net::OpenSSH doesn't include passwords nor sftp, so I'm
clearly bias!

Cheers,
