Hi Fyodor,

Hi George.  This is a neat feature but my initial thought is that if added
to trunk, it should probably be off by default.  Users who want it could
then set known-hosts.  Then again, if there are folks who would like to
have it on by default, now is a good time to speak up.

I told George to write it this way. I can understand hesitation
towards reading ~/.ssh/known_hosts. My opinion is that this is a
harmless improvement. However, I'm okay with this being turned on by
the user although I worry the script's enhanced functionality won't
see use as a result.
