none of the above concerns should keep you from creating a new, stronger
key and starting to gather certifications on it.  You can still keep
your old key for places where more certifications matter, and start
using your new key in places where stronger keys matter.  Do this until
you feel comfortable that your new key has gathered enough
certifications to be useful in both places, at which point you can
revoke your old key.
