You should be able to set that option for a specific (set of) hosts in
.ssh/config so you don't have to repeat it on the CLI every time.

I think the first reaction should be to report it as a bug, so that the
old cipher is re-added.  I think the same argument in favor of including
the "none" cipher should apply to including old deprecated ciphers.
