That's true, indeed.

I'm not sure if it would contribute to the stability.  The new code is
inherently brittle because of more processes involved (ssh-agent,
ssh-add, and gcr-ssh-askpass).  The primary intention of this is to
lower the maintenance burden so we wouldn't need to follow up the
changes made in OpenSSH in the future.

Anyway, after using it for a week (and fixing several bugs...), I think
it's now in an acceptable quality, so I am going to merge it in 3.27.92
unless there is any objection.

If anyone could help testing it, there is a copr repository:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ueno/gnome-keyring/
(use gcr-3.27.90-0.2 and gnome-keyring-3.27.90-0.7)
