It makes things more manageable for me, and reminds me of how I know this person. All of my mutt-user friends' keys are in pubring.mutt.gpg, and so on. If I ever unhook from a list, I can pretty quickly purge my key collection of keys relating to that list rather than carrying around the baggage forever. Similarly, I have all of my old keys in a ring by themselves; they're available in case I want to read my old encrypted messages or if someone encrypts to me with an old key, but I don't see them on a regular basis. It also shortens my listings if I'm looking for something in particular; I have a $GNOPG alias defined which points to /dev/null instead of the options file and then I feed in the keyring I wish to use for the lookup. % % -- % "I have no particular talent.
