OpenSSH's Match declarations are applied first-match-wins. However, we can't safely define two Matches that might overlap unless we first sort the keys, as Python (and Jinja) dicts don't guarantee the order of dict keys, We also won't scramble the match sequence every time the user adds, removes or renames a match, and so we give the user clearer, more concise diffs as when they apply changes. Finally, we leave a comment on the Match line identifying where the Match rule came from, to assist in troubleshooting.master
