There is a strong possibility that open port 22 will start attracting script
kiddies from the net like a dead animal attracts flies..... 

Openssh or any version of ssh does not have any holes in it right now but
new holes are being discovered all the time. The best bet is to implement
some thing like port knocking to avoid this sort of direct expoosure to the
net or atleast run it on a non std port
