zsh command completion ssh warning

After swiching to zsh I noticed the warning about island hopping attacks in the zsh wiki article.  It recommends commenting out

#HashKnownHosts yes

in /etc/ssh/ssh_config or setting the value to no.  However, with openssh 6.1p1-2, this line doesn't exist.  Am I supposed to add this line (uncommented and with no) or is this no longer an issue?

Re: zsh command completion ssh warning

As per `man ssh_config` the default is no, so if you don't want hashed hosts (so zsh can autocomplete) there's nothing to do.

(Though if you do want to use hashed hosts, then you need to add this option (w/ yes) and remove your known_hosts file (or manually convert entries, see man pages), but then zsh won't be able to do its autocomplete obviously)
