Comment 3 for bug 64160

evolution-data-server has been rebuilt without gnome-keyring this morning (bug #63443)

removing the keyring is not possible though. nautilus, gnome-vfs, etc use it to store passwords and have no other way to store a password. Write duplicated code because some people don't like a keyring doesn't make sense. Some other people will not like the keyring nor the plain text format and will want another format, etc. Upstream already has enough of code without writing extra code and maintain because some people want to remove the gnome-keyring. Note that if entering your password is your only issue with the keyring there is a pam-keyring feature being work: cf bug #43169 by example
