please have a look at this debian report -- it's all said there:) http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=313371 after many years I too got annoyed enough to step forward and ask if that patch/change might get included into the the official openssh sources ?! that change seems to work fine in Debian for years, and I've now added it to my own ssh private ssh patches too, but IMHO this should be a feature of every ssh client binary... if Debian already tried to get that change upstreams and there was a discussion reasoning why openssh didn't adpot that patch, I'd be interested to get a pointer to those mails/discussions it possible... anyway, thanks for openssh !!!
Well, you could just add "LogLevel quiet" to ~/.ssh/config for the host in question...
or in your specific example: s/ssh/ssh -q/g
(In reply to comment #2) > or in your specific example: s/ssh/ssh -q/ I tried that one too, but this is not an option: "-q" suppresses error messages, too. try ssh -q unknownhost using "-q" will suppress too many significant messages for the user...

https://anongit.mindrot.org/openssh.git/commit/?id=b1e72df2b813ecc15bd0152167bf4af5f91c36d3 bumps the "Killed" message to verbose so it won't appear at the default log level.
Close all resolved bugs after release of OpenSSH 7.7.
