I'm going to add a tiny bit to this:3) The Account System code will prevent you from uploading a DSA key. So if your key was DSA, you'll have to generate an RSA key and upload that. This is due to the fact that we haven't found a 100% accurate way to find all DSA keys generated by the eak-Debian-random-number-packages.
4) If you uploaded your ssh private key to a Fedora Infrastructure server, for instance, because you were sshing between publictest machines, you should replace your key as a precaution just as we are asking you to replace your passwords.
