+1

Even if you ran mergemaster and saw the change, without a comment above the VersionAddendum line or mention in UPDATING, you might make any number of assumptions about why it's commented out now.    Given the behavior (ie: sshd does not start) for those that have chosen in the past not to tell the world what OS and build date they are running.

Not really the best choice by the OpenSSH folks either, IMHO.  I skim the OpenSSH release notes sent to the -announce list and totally missed this change.
