It's the client that decides which protocol to use (if both are available). For sshd the order is not relevant. For the client the order is of importance. Protocol 2 should be preferred over protocol 1, so I have changed this in ssh_config after installing the RPM. The handling of the sessions is different for the protocols and protocol 2 has some problems with connection shutdown when background processes were started. Maybe that's the reason why SuSE decided to stay with protocol 1 as default.
