I also thought about this for a while. The only idea I came up with is
to have separate CAs used as trust anchor for each host group. But it
was not urgent for me because I have an authorization based on host
groups enforced by the user management anyway.

Haven't though about using a specific AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand script.

But the other big question is the usability of the process for issuing
and using the OpenSSH user certs. What's your idea on this?
