Inconsistency between legacy and release notes?

Hi,

 

Someone told me that DSA keys were being deprecated with OpenSSH 7.0. The only reference I could find about this topic on openSSH site is on the legacy page:

 

“OpenSSH 7.0 and greater similarly disable the ssh-dss (DSA) public key algorithm. It too is weak and we recommend against its use.”

 

There is no explanation about the weakness. But more than that, I could not find any mention of this deprecation on OpenSSH 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 release notes.

 

So my question is: are DSA keys really deprecated?

 

Thank you in advance,
