Hello,
I am not 100% sure if I like this change.
Simply because of defaults changing in software. Although we generally want to follow upstream this might break installations.
Do we not see this as a danger?
I would prefer to have shorter configurations, but not breaking production is more important.

In order to keep configurations as small as possible and to make them easier to read/audit, this patch omits all default configuration in the OpenSSH server configuration file.
Further, it mentions where to refer for the full documentation.
