That commit message does't tell too much, I think.

Besides that, I'm sure it will break (at least) my ssh wrapper scripts,
which rely on user@host to be passed into the script.

The thing is that some hosts don't have a DNS entry, but can be reached via
host.local, if avahi is running.
And my wrapper script parses the url, looks up the host via netlookup,
or avahi using host.local, and feeds the result into /usr/bin/ssh.
