I know. However this has essentially exposed a massive number of protocol 2 implementations. If I run a non-debian ssh server I still need to upgrade to an sshd that checks the blacklist right? Since a debian using user could have sent me her debian-generated weak public key? That account is now unsafe? So if I make or allow a protocol 2 connection on a non-debian machine am I safe? Maybe; maybe not. So bump the protocol and rest assured that anything accepting or making a protocol 2+ connection was implemented after the faulty PRNG debacle and move on. Would it also avoid the blacklist - no blacklist lookup needed for protocol 2+ ? I am not, by any means, a naive user - and yet I can't be sure I've correctly updated all my systems. The fix is complex and subject to human error.
