The patch to update the bundled ssh github host key did not
change anything for users who already had connected to github
one time before via ssh: if the attacker had access to the old
key, they'd be vulnerable to MITM attacks as their known_hosts
file would list the old github key. Only if they connected
again to github without attacker access, or if they saw the
announcement of the key rotation, they would update their key.
There is sadly no other way to distribute revocations of old host
keys to clients other than to bundle them with client software.
