Consider the case that your key has been compromised. Of course, you
are careful to avoid this, but can you be sure? After several years?
The longer you have your key the greater the possibility. If someone
actually has your secret key, he won't tell you. Replacing your key
regularly is the only way to be sure.
Kind regards,
