That has already started happening, according to friends using
non-standard ports. Still, it helps a lot, of course, about 200:1
reduction in bots accesses to sshd last I heard.
Regarding tarpits and the like: I don't recommend using them unless
you don't mind being a martyr, and definitely not saying you do where
it's google-able. I know a few people who have been dos'ed in
apparent retaliation.
