Windows OpenSSH doesn't show the ssh-keygen -R helper line when host key changes

[dhrm1k]

I noticed a difference between Linux OpenSSH and the Windows OpenSSH port.

On Linux, when the remote host key changes, OpenSSH shows a helpful line that tells you exactly how to remove the old entry from known_hosts, like:

remove with:
ssh-keygen -f "/home/dharmik/.ssh/known_hosts" -R "[192.168.160.122]:3041"

But on Windows, this line never appears. Windows only shows something like:

Add correct host key in C:\\Users\\Chirag/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending ED25519 key in C:\\Users\\Chirag/.ssh/known_hosts:31
Host key verification failed.

There’s no suggested ssh-keygen -R command, which makes the experience inconsistent and a bit confusing when switching between Linux and Windows. Since the command works fine on Windows, it would be helpful if the Windows port printed the same helper message.

I want to know if this is deliberate or is being planned?

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

This is not deliberate! We will investigate to make a more consistent behavior! Thanks for finding this!

Are you using OpenSSH-Portable on Linux? AFAIK, there's no deviation in this fork from the OpenSSH-Portable message

Yes, I am using OpenSSH-Portable on Linux, which is the default on Ubuntu and other Linux distributions. The message about 'remove with: ssh-keygen -R ...' is part of the portable OpenSSH and does appear when a host key changes. There is no deviation from the upstream OpenSSH-Portable message in this Ubuntu package.
