Is this supposed to be okay? I mean, even though they are public keys, its not like I really want them to be _that_ public!

Whats the harm? At most, people can encrypt things with your public key and then...?

For example they can identify my different accounts, when I sue the same key.

Last time I tried to use the same public key for a second account, GitHub refused.

I'd say that at most it forces you a bit more (if that was necessary) to check the SSH fingerprint of the machines you're SSHing into.

I also view this as information leakage. I keep some of my online pseudonyms completely separated, and stuff like that allows people to link them together, if I was not careful enough to use a separate ssh key.
