openssh bugs - Apr 2019 - [Bug 2997] New: ssh-keygen manpage default RSA key length incorrect

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2997

            Bug ID: 2997
           Summary: ssh-keygen manpage default RSA key length incorrect
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 8.0p1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: sebastiaanlokhorst at gmail.com

As mentioned in the OpenSSH 8.0 release notes[1]:

* ssh-keygen(1): Increase the default RSA key size to 3072 bits,
   following NIST Special Publication 800-57's guidance for a
   128-bit equivalent symmetric security level.

However, the ssh-keygen manpage still says[2]:

For RSA keys, the minimum size is 1024 bits and the default is 2048
bits. Generally, 2048 bits is considered sufficient.
