Even if you ran mergemaster and saw the change, without a comment above the 
VersionAddendum line or mention in UPDATING, you might make any number of 
assumptions about why it's commented out now.    Given the behavior (ie: sshd 
does not start) for those that have chosen in the past not to tell the world 
what OS and build date they are running.

Not really the best choice by the OpenSSH folks either, IMHO.  I skim the 
OpenSSH release notes sent to the -announce list and totally missed this change.
