--- Comment #9 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
I don't like this because the message doesn't (can't) go to the user
sending the SIGHUP, only the system log. So if the intended config
change was really important (e.g. one with security consequences) but
contained a typo, then sshd could silently fail to reload on SIGHUP and
leave the user in a bad state.
