Why doesn't SSH use a better algorithm for encrypting keys?



According to the answers in this question, SSH still uses a very basic algorithm for encrypting keys with a passphrase, which can be attacked at a rate of billions tries per second using dedicated hardware.


Better password protection schemes have been known for a while. Given how popular SSH is and how critical it is to the security of many organizations, I'm wondering why nobody seems to care about this problem?
