As a (very) longtime user of SSH, are there any features in (relatively) newer releases that have changed peoples lives?
Last year I switched over to using signed SSH host keys, and for my fleet of ~150 VMs, some of which respin on a nightly basis, this has been a game changer. No longer do I need to keep a master "known_hosts" file updated and distributed across the fleet.
