Human readable .ssh/known_hosts?

You could move your user-known hosts file to the global location,
and empty yours.
That way new (and changed) get written to your new file, but the old
list is used as a backup.

Perhaps that would be a feature request - "also look at this file,
and silently migrate to the user's file if identical".

Not sure about that. Age doesn't tell about validity.
