Which conflicted with the demand for having several keyring; actually we
once had experimental support for a hash table.  But because some sites
insisted on using several keyrings this did not worked very well.

With the keyboxd we finally started to drop support for several
keyrings.  Due to the ubiquity and maturity of SQLite keyboxd does not
anymore use a custom database but relies on SQLite.
