Some time before OpenSSH was forked (September 1999), apparently.  This 
from the OpenBSD tree:

$ cvs up -r 1.1 readconf.c
$ cat readconf.c

     case oStrictHostKeyChecking:
[...]
       else if (strcmp(cp, "ask") == 0)
         value = 2;

$ cvs log readconf.c
[...]

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
