I don't know what's more stupid: #OpenSSH using different authentication flow depending on whether you have a `.pub` file in addition to the private key or not, or #GitHub suddenly starting to reject one of the two valid RFC 4252 workflows.

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systems huh, maybe that explains why a repo I tried to clone the other day that used submodules failed...

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systems This is definitely a bug on GitHub's side and I believe it's been rolled back. My team runs that service, so it definitely was not intentional. When we make intentional user-visible changes to SSH, we announce them publicly, as with our previous algorithm changes.
