It could be worse, the user has the old rsa host key present alongside newer ed / ecdsa keys, they may never rotate out the rsa one. A future mitm simply only advertises the rsa key, and mitm passes.

Users will need to actively remove the old rsa key in order to be safe. It's my first question, and a colleague suggested that they believe that the private key was not seen, however, I don't see that in the post - unless I'm missing it - and I really want this stated very clearly somewhere.
