  • This is a behaviour change on how we process the allowed_extensions role
    parameter when it does not contain a value. The previous handling allowed
    a client to override and specify any extension they requested signing of an ssh key
  • We now require a role to explicitly set this behaviour by setting the parameter
    to a '*' value which matches the behaviour of other keys such as allowed_users
    within the role.
  • No migration of existing roles is provided either, so operators if they truly
    want this behaviour will need to update existing roles appropriately.

I think this has to be a single line, though I'm not positive.
