Why is an IoT system making outbound ssh connections?  That's the only
way it would ever be aware of another system's host key.

Btw, I believe there is either a Bugzilla ticket or a Phabricator review
somewhere that makes the list of host key algorithms configurable (and
it's trivial to recreate if you can't find it).

Oh, and should we perhaps also disable (non-elliptic) DSA host keys?
