This is largely a myth due to a handful at some point having left the factory with a duff PSU. The main source of heat is the CPU, and my plugs never exceed 45C (~25C above ambient) even after days of constant compiling. It's a non-issue unless you plan to run them inside an oven.

The overheating debacle was primarily with GuruPlug, not SheevaPlug:

"Newer versions of the GuruPlug Plus solve the overheating problem by adding a
2cm fan to the design, although this eliminates the benefit of the silent
design." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GuruPlug
