Nuked my keyfiles



I recently uninstalled the 0.2.1.25-0.2.7 package from my Windows machine using the built-in uninstall utility and upgraded to the latest alpha build (I've had issues installing one version on top of the other before) and I totally forgot to look and see whether the uninstall utility planned on nuking my Data Directory (it did). Of course, I never made a backup of my keyfiles (bad japlin!), so I'm now operating with new keys and new fingerprints. Besides changing the myfamily option on my other relays to reflect the current fingerprint, what should I do at this point? I remember when I first set up my relays, the documentation recommended sending an email in a specific format to tor-ops, but I can't find anything about it anymore. Is this no longer necessary? Am I good just sitting tight?

As a side note, thank you to whoever removed Vidalia's tendency to rape the torrc with comments, everything is so much more readable now.
