Yeah, a while ago.

Judging from the comparison on the ticket, if I had to make this
decision again, I would drop revelation (poor maintenance), Figaro and
KeePass2 (low popcon, unclear how it works on GNOME3), which only
leaves KeePassX.

The 2.0 branch is still in alpha state. We usually don't ship that
kind of software before it matures a bit.
