No, you don't have to revoke it. In fact, you can remove or extend the expiration date and continue using your current key if you like. > I'm not even sure if this can be done or matters. Yes, it can be done (as long as you still have the private key, of course). > 2) Once I generate a new key, I assume I should add its fingerprint > to my Fedora account--removing the existing one?

I don't know about most people, but I think it's okay to not have an expiration date on a key. You can also add one later if you change your mind. I have no expiration date on my primary key, but I do have one on the encryption subkey. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some people are like Slinkies... not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.
