When you say “enable UpdateHostKeys by default,” do you mean a future
release of OpenSSH will default it to “ask”, or default it to “yes”?

The only other option with no/ask/yes options that doesn’t default to
no is StrictHostKeyChecking, which defaults to ask, so I suspect the
future default will be ask, not yes.

I ask (no pun intended, ha) because we’d like to set UpdateHostKeys
_now_ to what the future default will be, but it’s not clear from the
announcement whether the future default will be ask or yes.
