In the first place, I have never seen such a prompt, despite the fact
that I use ssh constantly to connect to machines that I know do not have
properly signed certificates. If there is such a prompt, it isn't the
default behavior. In the second place, unconditionally failing isn't a
particularly nice emulation of a prompting behavior.
Perhaps a suitable compromise is to have the failure message include
a hint about how to prevent the failure if you don't want it?
