This is related to
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2023-05/msg00327.html
and bug#63627 I've opened to track progress.
plstore.el stores clear-text sensitive data in a number of places in a
running emacs without automatically expiring it as, for example,
password-cache does.
1. As usually, fixing these decreases convenience. Is that OK?
2. Is fixing these considered a bug (relevant for emacs-29) even if it
involves a bit more effort, possibly even new functions and
variables?
Thanks.
