Seriously, my guess is someone looking to make a name for themselves. Ain't no one gonna get famous by fixing bugs. Re-designed and implemented the Linux network management tools? Hire that guy ASAP!
Openssh never accepted any changes that added a dependency on systemd. The various distros had custom patches that would link Openssh to libsystemd. This means that BSD systems would've been unaffected even if they'd managed to get this backdoor out into the wild.
The AIrmageddon! It can't come fast enough.

I also prefer non-Egyptian braces. Power brother!
I find this style of Egyptian braces ironic:

// some code goes here.
}
Clearly you see a need for space between the function signature and the first line of code... How about we go ahead and slide the opening brace...
