I'd want to see more concrete use cases, but I'd also like to see that
this keyring thing gets used and doesn't find any show-stoppers when
it does.

If we have multiple uses, and one of them notices some problem that
requires any ABI changes, but the other one has already started using
it, we'll have more problems.
