Yes, this is my point - I left my old and previously working sshd_config with empty VersionAddendum. > Err yes, your right.

Now it breaks sshd after final reboot on two of our upgraded servers. So Release Notes or better UPDATING entry will warn other users before the same mistake. Thanks to the remote management / KVM on Sun Fire and Supermicro servers that I didn't need to drive to the datacenter and I can fix it remotely. Miroslav Lachman
