Kali Raspberry Pi/SSH

I am unable to determine the answer to this question: is SSH enabled by default on Kali Linux Raspberry Pi images? Or am I screwing something up on my router?

SSH is on by default

This 2-year-old Kali bug indicates that SSH was enabled on Kali Raspberry Pi images: https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=464

But that was two years ago, and it was inconsistent with what they were doing with other Kali Linux images, so it's dubious whether this information is still accurate.

SSH is off by default

Well, first, my experience with other Kali installations - as the thread above says, Kali installations don't have SSH enabled by default

The Meta-Realization

The meta realization is, you can do whatever the fuck you want with a Kali Linux installer. So long as you aren't on a Mac, you can mount both the boot and the Linux partitions of the SD card flashed with the Pi image, so you can start any service you want.
