Please don't post features that depend on proprietary software

It has been said to me that keyring.el is only useful for people
who use either Windows or PalmOS.

Both Windows and PalmOS are non-free, proprietary operating systems;
in other words, unethical.  (For the definition of free software, see
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html.)

Our aim in developing GNU Emacs, and indeed the whole GNU operating
system of which GNU Emacs is a part, is to replace non-free software
with free, freedom-respecting software.  We aim to replace and
eliminate systems such as Windows and PalmOS, not to enhance them!

So please don't post Emacs features here that only work (or only are
useful) on non-free operating systems.
