I wasn't thinking here.  It doesn't make it useless at all, it is very well
possible to implement ssh in a way that the private keys cannot be printed to
screen, and it would still be usable.  In fact, I was thinking of setting up
something of that sort for gnupg, where I want a user to be able to sign and
decrypt things only as long as they have access to some account.

Thanks,
