In this situation, I just want to avoid creating a new key-pair as long as possible and ed448 is likely to survive just a bit longer from what I understand.
Why is it so important your keypair be as long-lived as possible, when there's very little likelihood of you going for that long a period without a key compromise event?
Think about key compromise events as you would a building fire. We don't make our buildings fireproof: instead, we clearly mark fire exits, hold drills, make backups, and write continuity-of-operations plans. The fire *will* happen, but how quickly we recover from it is up to us.
Murphy *will* find us, Murphy *will* beat us, Murphy *will* take our lunch money. When making a new keypair, I think people are well-served to remember the key lifetime is fundamentally in Murphy's hands -- not theirs.
