Tangent: has any consideration been given to increasing the maximum
allowed beyond 8192 bits (which is below the current NIST
recommendation for 256 bits of security)?  Last time I looked OpenSSL
supported 10k bits out of the box so it probably wouldn't be hard to
support that in OpenSSH.

usually comes from bad judgement.
