[smc-discuss] Doubt on GNU PG Key

Currently I do have a GPG key of 2048 bit RSA. I haven't yet used it
for any serious things.

I would like to use these keys for serious things later.
Probably after a period not less than 10 months.
I do also wish to get my keys signed by someone else
later.

So would some one recommend me to create a new key of
4096 bit or so? Will 2048 bit key be insecure, or obsolete,
or easily crackable in the next few years?

If I create new key, I have a burden of encrypting
about 1000 files at different locations, and
revoking old keys at several servers. Thats all.

What about RSA or DSA?
