Thanks for the clarification.
As I understand it, if I have a key in the old format and want to use
the new format, I will just request changing the passphrase and it will
change to the new format automatically.

ssh-keygen -f <my-key> -p

which was before:

ssh-keygen -f <my-key> -p -o

head <my-key> should the contain the line:

-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----

Best regards, keep up the good work
