In theory, easily avoidable. In practice, most likely ripe with potential --
as I have never seen _anyone_ refuse to accept a key on connection for the
first time, and darn few who object to "Oh, we changed the server key".

Shoot, I've only chased down a changed-server-key discrepency a couple
of times, and yeah, it's typically a reinstall/rebuild of the box that
ends up generating new keys.
