Don't try to do it all at once! OpenSSH didn't. Why should you/we?
As you can see, the known_hosts support so far has been added
incrementally.

Yes, this is one of the problems with the second approach I outlined;
I can't see a way to do it without an API change and we can't make
those changes willy-nilly. We have to store them up and so them all
at once.
