Me too; I have also suggested to HP through my service channel
to change the status to something other (not required).

My collegue made stated this when he helped me solve the case:

We don't spread ssh.com keys. If we had to do it it would be a total
number of ..
 
$ awk '{sum += split($1, a, ",")}END{print sum}' /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts2
  9044
 
... 9044 files to /.ssh2/hostkeys/. Use /local/bin/ssh.
