Comment (by nielx):
We could make the decision to actively document this decision, like:
"Warning: the KeyStore system does not currently encrypt passwords and
other data. If you application needs a higher level of security, you will
need to use other methods to securely store password and other data."
We could also choose to explicitly warn people against using the API.
The third option is to leave it undocumented.
I am leaning for the first one here.
