It's more likely that there's one version, making noise and very rarely finding
a box with stupid passwords.  It's possible there's another rare version that
tries several stupid passwords and a few old SSH vulnerabilities.  Is there
*any* reliable evidence (even a single box) that appears to have been nailed by
a new exploit?

I'll gladly change my mind, but it will take somebody actually finding a
box running a *recent* SSH and had guest/test/and_so_on properly secured,
and the attack *still* got in....
