I actively use GnuPG with two separate keyrings for file encryption and
decryption, that's why I thought this was useful. I'd like to keep both
keyrings in one place instead of overriding GPGHOME. But I don't feel
strongly about it and can adapt, if there are downsides I wasn't aware
existed.

Thanks!
