Good point, actually. You give away your public key to some other parties anyway, and you cannot trust them. So yeah, it's a good idea :)
I assume it's mostly a "Hey, you're giving me access to your server. Here's my public key to get access" kind of thing right? I assume there are other scenarios where you'd need to give out the public key?
I can't think of any. I guess even if there are, they fall into 1% of the cases.
