Fair enough. But keeping it in the keyring is neat, and I'm sure I
read somewhere that the .kbx format is more flexible than the old
keyring format and stores meta-information about the keys.

Local comments seem to me to be a reasonable type of metadata to want
to store. They could usefully double as a locally-assigned "UID" or
handle for the key, saying "red haired funny tall guy from XYZ
meeting" or including an email address that is not in the key's actual
UIDs.
