Hi all,

This only affect RSA certificates, not ECDSA or ED25519 certs
Even if your CA is an RSA key, you can sign ECDSA or ED25519 public keys so you 
get ECDSA/ED25519 certificates which allow you to work around the issue without 
changing anything server-side
(and without deploying a new CA)

Exemple of working cert (7.8 client, <7.8 server):
$ ssh-keygen -Lf ~/.ssh/id_ed25519-cert.pub
~/.ssh/id_ed25519-cert.pub:
        Type: ssh-ed25519-cert-...@openssh.com user certificate
        Public key: ED25519-CERT SHA256:<...>
        Signing CA: RSA SHA256:<...>
        Key ID: "..."
