If you think your current private ssh key was compromised by using it on the 
Fedora Infrastructure, you should not use the new key for more than one 
project. Whatever happened to compromise your old key, can also happen to 
compromise your new key on any system from any other project giving the 
admins of these machines access to your Fedora SSH account.
