It's a different type of SSH key.  The new default in 10.1 is to use
ECDSA keys (identified typically as ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 in known_hosts),
when available, and it's those that SSH is prompting you about.  As
distinct from the DSA and RSA keys you'll have had in your known_hosts
for donkey's years.

You can suppress the prompts about new keys by adding appropriate SSHFP
records to your DNS, although you should be running with DNSSEC enabled
if you choose to do that.

	Cheers,
