No, true ;)

But in my environments anyway, the bypassing of command="" restrictions
had much larger potential impact than the bug in from="" restrictions,
even if the former was arguably not even a bug, just an interestingly
undocumented feature/commonly misunderstood interaction ;)  Thus I was
surprised it was not mentioned in the announcement (which actually says
'fixes a weakness in the key file option handling...'
      ^^^), did the homework to confirm it was indeed in (and hadn't
been pulled, or not merged from the OpenBSD version in time for some
reason, or whatever) and thought I'd save other inquiring minds the
trouble.

Maybe I just need more sleep.  :-P
