So when you interact with Gerrit via SSH you will see a new fingerprint and might be asked if you trust it. We have already added it to the known_hosts file provided by wmf-laptop. You can also directly import the auto-generated known_hosts file if you like. [2] or verify it on Wikitech [3] and adding it right here: SHA256:njCmWMsshq3MqQxyIFO36UNwCwzTamXERqylF1XJhd8 ssh server at gerrit.wikimedia.org (ED25519) The old existing RSA key will stay valid in parallel until August 4th when it will be removed. The related ticket is T240266 [4].
