It would require a reworking of how credential stores are intended to be
used. Currently, they're not so much credential stores as encryption
methods for the password values in authentication.conf, which have a
little extra behaviour hacked onto them that ignores the password value
from authentication.conf and gets the password from another source. To
make it a proper credential store that can be written to would require
changing the contract a fair bit. Although, considering that there is
only two external implementations that I know of (mine and bzr-keychain)
it shouldn't cause too much disruption to change the way credential
stores work.

Ciao,
