    Hmm, -Q has been there for a few years ftp.ca.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/ChangeLog though I suppose some folks are slow to update. To the -v -v -v spam!

    Given that I'm on a relatively aged version of Linux now, and it has -Q, and since the man page now states 'The list of available key types may also be obtained using "ssh -Q key".', I'm gonna move this to the answer, assuming it doesn't violate any stack policy.
