--- Comment #2 from stefan.ss at gmx.de ---
need this option also to allow again previous RSA minimum size default
768.

I know 768 is too small for security, 
_but_ old puttygen version creates in ~50% RSA keys with 1023 bits,
when using with the default of requested size 1024.

SSH_RSA_MINIMUM_MODULUS_SIZE was increased to 1024, so public key login
no longer works with old public keys.

so enforced to stay on old openssh server version (7.4). 
Cannot distribute new keys for this accounts.
