The honest answer: I don't actually remember what I was thinking 
(other stuff stole my focus) but my comment neither makes much
sense to me. Please just ignore it, and apologies for causing
confusion.

There's something I'm looking into in my spare time right now.
I'm experimenting with interfacing keyring types to Rust. The
first step, I guess, is to provide a Rust abstraction for
assoc_array.

I've skimmed through the patch set and have now *rough* idea of
patterns and techniques. My opens are more on the process side
of things since there's no yet mainline subtree.

If I send a patch or patch sets, would this be a good workflow:

1. RFC tag.
2. In the cover letter denote the patch set version, which was
   used the baseline.

Linux keyring is without argument a kind of subsystem that would
hugely benefit of the Rust work, as it is both user space facing 
nd handling a vast amount of user's confidential data.
