--- Comment #6 from Simon McVittie <simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk> ---
The current status is that (5.12.3 and) 5.13.x still needed keyring support, to
carry out an incomplete migration from MC's area of gnome-keyring to Empathy's;
so we didn't want to remove keyring support in the 5.13.x cycle, so that users
upgrading from 5.12 to 5.14 will get their old passwords deleted correctly.

While it would be OK to remove gnome-keyring support in 5.15.x, we haven't had
enough maintainer bandwidth to even release 5.15.0 yet, so 5.14 remains the
recommended version for GNOME 3.8. Hopefully 5.16 can be released alongside
GNOME 3.10.

Distributions that desperately want to get rid of libgnome-keyring can build
with --disable-gnome-keyring if desired.
