Subject:   OpenSSH to remove DSA support

Since users always moan that such changes are "sudden" and "unexpected",
I'd like to raise awareness that OpenSSH will remove support for
DSA keys (ssh-dss) in a year's time.

| In summary:
| 2024/01 - this announcement
| 2024/03 (estimated) - DSA compile-time optional, enabled by default
| 2024/06 (estimated) - DSA compile-time optional, *disabled* by default
| 2025/01 (estimated) - DSA is removed from OpenSSH

DSA keys have already been disabled by default for years, since
FreeBSD 11, so this won't concern you at all unless you use
HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss for connecting to old switches or such.

Here's the full announcement:
