So let me see if I understand this. Something apparently has recently changed at GitHub that will break a perfectly valid way that clients can configure ssh. Someone hit that problem, tried a bunch of things to diagnose it, figured out what is broken and a workaround (switch to another perfectly valid way to configure ssh on the client).

Rather than going into detail on all the things they tried to figure that out they went straight to concisely explaining the workaround.

They then briefly explain why those two different ways to configure it lead to different flows on the server.

There is absolutely no question that this will be useful to anyone how hits this problem and has this turn up when they search for help. There is nothing in the writing that, if this had been written in 2018, any reasonable person would find to criticize.

But because you see one bit of phrasing that you think might be LLM influenced you flag it?
