+		This package distributes backends extracted from the main Python keyring
+		project to make them available for those who wish to employ them, but
+		are discouraged for general production use. Include this module and use
+		its backends at your own risk.
+		For example, the PlaintextKeyring stores passwords in plain text on the
+		file system, defeating the intended purpose of this library to encourage
+		best practices for security.
