Just noticed that is a different use case, where we need to be exact. To be
100% sure, we would even need to compare the key raw data. But yes, we want 
to avoid keeping the old key in memory).

But we already have code there to do it correctly, so why do you thing
an 8byte fingerprint affects that at all?
