@launchpadlib developers. NEWS for 1.8 now says

- Store authorization tokens in the Gnome keyring or KDE wallet, when
  available. The credentials_file parameter of Launchpad.login_with() is now
  ignored.

This sounds like deliberately breaking backwards compatibility with existing setups, which rely on existing credentials files. Can we at least keep backwards compatibility for existing credentials files, and the credentials_file parameter for a while? What happens if you use the new launchpadlib on servers where there are no native keyring services, and stuff runs from cron?
