StrictHostKeyChecking ask

How come "StrictHostKeyChecking ask" doesn't cause Ssh to ask me if I'm
OK with a host key having changed and, assuming I say yes, go ahead and
update known_hosts?  It looks like the program gratuitously runs me through
the exercise of editing known_hosts and starting over.

Kudos for having the message tell me exactly what I have to delete, though.
