Reading between the lines of recent attacks, it seems likely that
private keys compromised in some of the attacks were used to perform
others. (No-one's come out and officially said this yet but it seems
pretty obvious from the subtext of some of the reports; I'm thinking
kernel.org / linux.com, for e.g.) It doesn't seem at all unlikely that
some people may have used the same identities on some of the other
compromised systems as they are using on FAS, and hence it seems pretty
reasonable to require this change.
