-I would like to know, at INFO (default) log level, when the 
-monkeyspehere makes a "real" modification to my known\_hosts file; that 
-is, when it adds or deletes a key.
-
-Apparently this is hard because monkeysphere is currently configured to 
-delete all keys and then add good keys, so a key added for the first 
-time seems to the monkeysphere very similar to a key re-added ten 
-seconds after last login.
-
-Still, from a UI perspective, I want to know what monkeysphere is doing.
-
-------
-
-It looks like jrollins committed a change for reporting at INFO level
-when a host key gets added by the monkeysphere:
-2459fa3ea277d7b9289945748619eab1e3441e5c
-
-When i connect to a host whose key is not already present in my
-known_hosts file, i get the following to stderr:
-
-    ms: * new key for squeak.fifthhorseman.net added to known_hosts file.
-
-This doesn't fully close this bug, because we aren't notifying on key
-deletion, afaict.
-
-------
-
-So current log level DEBUG will output a message if the known host
-file has been modified.  If the issue is that you want to know at the
-default log level everytime the known\_hots file is modified, then we
-should just move this message to INFO instead of debug, and then maybe
-remove the message that I added above.  I was under the impression
-that the issue was more about notification that a *new* key was added
-to the known\_hosts file, and therefore the new INFO message above
-fixed that problem.  Should we do this instead?
-
-In general, more verbose log levels *do* tell the user what the
-monkeysphere is doing.  Moving to DEBUG log level will tell you pretty
-much everything that happens.  I do *not* think that this should be
-the default log level, though.
-
-------
-
-I wouldn't want to see an extremely verbose default log level.  But i
-do think that saying something like "key blah blah blah was stripped
-from your known\_hosts file because it was expired" (for example)
-would be useful.  I think this case would occur infrequently enough
-that it is worth reporting in the UI at the regular log level.
