I don't think the Fedora packages rejected such keys by default.  I
know that Debian and Ubuntu's packages contain patches which implement
a partial blacklist of keys that are checked.  I don't think that's
upstream or in the Fedora packages though.  (I checked by grepping for
blacklist in the the F-10 branch of openssh.)
