Oops. I quoted the wrong section. I had meant to quote the section
about the user_certificates. This is what I meant to cite:
+A user certificate is an authorization made by the CA that the
+holder of a specific private key may login to the server as a
+specific user, without the need of an authorized_keys file being
+present. The CA gains the power to grant individual users access
+to the server, and users do no longer need to maintain
+authorized_keys files of their own.
I don't see a problem with the host certificates methodology. (In
fact I'd love to see the known_hosts files fade away as more hosts
transition to using host certificates.)
Thanks,
