(Get the code!)
Erm, we make heavy use of login_with() in noninteractive scripts that run from cron. Until recently this was "the" official method to log into launchpad. So claiming "Non-interactive apps will continue to work as they did previously" is certainly wrong, since it currently forces the creation of a keyring and usage of a password (this is also a nuisance in interactive apps, FWIW).
Instead of breaking existing API, could the new keyring method perhaps get its own, and the existing login_with() and credentials_file would keep working as before?
(Sorry, at this point we should probably open a separate bug)
