Because it was badly broken in many ways. The implementation details were wrong in a number of small ways, in addition it is legitimate to have different host keys for the same IP address if you run different servers on different ports (a common case of this would be for holes in the firewall where port 22 goes one place, 23 another, etc). A common trick is to use the machine name to steer to these different ports. Green's changes broke that. It is unclear which behavior is better or more desriable, but there's a lot to be said for consistancy with the reference implementation.
