Comment(by sascha_silbe):

 Replying to [comment:20 greenfeld]:

 manners), we regenerate the SSH keys used by Sugar in OLPC 12.1.0 os11.

 first boot name/icon color prompt cycle.  I do not know if this is
 intentional.

 It's been that way before the patch already. We're showing the intro
 screen if any of nick name, colour or SSH key is missing (all) or corrupt
 (SSH key only).

 I don't know whether there was a conscious choice before, but it's at
 least a reasonable thing to do: If the key is corrupted (presumably by the
 machine crashing early during first Sugar usage), there's a good chance
 the name and colour settings are corrupted as well.
