Hashed or not is a configurable option in openssh (HashKnownHosts no/yes).
I always turn off hashing because I don't see how I could handle cases
where the known host updates its key (because I have e.g. reinstalled
its OS or something). There doesn't seem to be an ssh option to
override it, and with hashing on I would have to delete the entire
known_hosts file every time, afaic. With hashing off I just vi the
file, a quick search, and kill the line.
