It's really not a huge hassle.  I've already done it.  I configured the
.ssh/config files where I needed to, and it doesn't conflict with any
other keys I have.  I don't get what the big deal is.  The disruption is,
like, five minutes of work.  The potential benefit is unknown, but
certainly not zero.

Why wait for a breach to do this?   This is a perfect time.  Doing it
after the 2008 breach was wise.  This is better.
