I trust Linode's security and their password complexity is almost certainly sufficient to keep the key secure; I cycled my credit card number regardless. It's a minor inconvenience to reduce the risk of a bigger inconvenience. Any time there's a compromise of this nature, I assume that they got the keys to the castle and any data involved I consider to be in the hands of attackers. The cost of that paranoia is fairly low in the grand scheme of things, even if it its a bit overboard.
