We have dropped this default for ssh some weeks ago. It is not a sane assumption to give ssh this value as argument; it overwrites settings in ~/.ssh/config. And in case there is no argument and no config setting, ssh assumes the local user name by default, which is sane. I don't know which username plink is assuming if no user is given as parameter.
