[Bug 874501] Re: couldn't prepare to write out keyring

 

Unfortunately It is pretty hard to measure the regression potential for
this.  Applications that could be broken by this change are probably
experiencing hard to reproduce bugs themselves.   The fact that multiple
entries are getting stored would be a bug itself, they wouldn't be
depending on that behavior.  However, it could break users that are
already affected by that kind of bug, we just don't really have a way to
measure that.
