When we worked on porting the package to systemd units, we found that
the per-connection openssh process would exit with a non-zero status
code even if the client disconnected properly:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=697698#c59

No idea if that has been fixed upstream since, but that's why the
inetd-style socket activation units aren't shipped in Fedora.
