If it's IPv4 and exposed to the Internet, moving to a different port
isn't really doesn't do much to secure it; it's not all that hard to
scan for SSH on any port (and people do, and it will be found).  If it's
not exposed... why move it?  It just makes an extra hassle when
connecting.

Basically, moving known services to alternate ports is rarely a good or
useful idea.
