--- Comment #13 from Christoph Anton Mitterer <calestyo at scientia.net> ---
Well, it's your project, so decide as it pleases you... :-)

But I still think its a bad idea to not document specially handled
option values (i.e. "none") where otherwise a free form string could be
used.

It may be unlikely but people could in principle use and
AuthorizedKeysCommand called "none" which would, AFIAU, *not* be called
unlike the documentation would suggest (by not mentioning "none" is
special.
Same goes for the other commands I've found earlier (though I haven't
checked the current code, whether this is still the case).

Cheers,
Chris.
