I came in late, but enhancing ssh-agent would be a good thing IMHO.
Whatever happens, I really like the model of ssh-agent - if an
attacker gets access to the ssh-agent socket, they cannot use this to
get access to the private key or password - so the damage is limited
to the duration they have access to the socket.
Unlike, say gnupg-agent which simply provides the password to whoever
asks for it (Years ago I heard rumours of a ssh-agent like system for
gnupg but I am not sure what happened...).
