I assume you mean SSH keys. IPA doesn't issue keys, so re-issuing is out
and AFAIK no plans to do this.

There are plans for a Key Recovery vault which can store a private key,
see https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3872 . This doesn't help in
the case of compromise but it does mean that keys aren't lost.
