Yes. I was not entirely happy with the whole key subsystem situation.
See my concerns in

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wjEowdfG7v_4ttu3xhf9gqopj1+q1nGG86+mGfGDTEBBg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

for more. That was before I realized it was buggy.

So it really would be good to have more people involved, and more
structure to the keys development (and, I suspect, much else under
security/)

Anyway, since it does seem like David is offline, I've just reverted
this from my tree, and will be continuing my normal merge window pull
requests (the other issues I have seen have fixes in their respective
trees).
