--- Comment #3 from Darren Tucker <dtucker at zip.com.au> ---
Sorry, I don't think it's worth adding yet another option to do
something that you can already do multiple ways.

> The intended use is /precisely for/ //non-permanent// systems.

The systems might be transient but you can still keep the config entry:

$ cat <<EOD >>~/.ssh/config
Host rescue
  UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
  StrictHostKeyChecking=no
EOD
$ ssh -o hostname=10.1.1.1 rescue

or a shell alias:
$ alias insecuresh=" -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o
StrictHostKeyChecking=no"

> I also want a discussion, or at least un-official approval of the name
> I selected for the feature

You missed a step: agreement that it's worth doing.  I don't think it
is.
