I suspect you mean the key for every message you verify the signature for is added to your keyring... having keys you verify on your ring is really expected behaviour, I think. Anyway, it was probably more undesirable in the past. It was for me at least, but now I have a better connection and machine and I don't mind it. Even large keyrings stay relatively small file-wise. I think most people that are regular users of encryption accept that they will have large keyrings to be part of that community. I don't think anyone who has responded to this thread has indicated that what is there now should always be adequate, but until someone has the time and care to write the patch to fix it, the suggestions we make are the best we can do.
