ssh still defaults to -X in a lot of places, though. (Granted, that's not nearly as bad.)
Those places include the default Debian configuration (unless this has been changed since mine was installed).
You mean -Y now actually is usefully working for something in the real world now?
Er, please note that -Y is *less secure* than -X. It's "trusted X11 forwarding" as in "trust the network to not be full of bastards". Earlier, I was referring to -X being on by default by contrast to only turning it on when you are explicitly want to forward X.
