The current version of openssh has deprecated the use of authorized_keys2,
known_hosts2, etc, and they threaten that future version will completely
ignore the *2 files.

So it's probablly a good idea to keep all your keys in authorized_keys,
and symlink that to authorized_keys2 for now.

 I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's
 too young to have logged on yet.  Here's what I worry about.  I worry
 that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say "Daddy, where
 were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?"
