I don't agree. If you are replacing a production machine, you
take
the keys from the old machine and use them. If you don't want to do
that, you buy new, probably stronger, certificates that are also
valid. I think your case only covers self-signed certificates.
I agree, usually the keys from the old machine are imported into the new.
I do, however, question the usefulness of generating self signed keys
for 'localhost' or 'localhost.localdomain'. Is there any valid use
case for these?
