There is no problem the new API be in a separate module. It is
independent of keytool now.
Said that, I've been thinking about rewriting keytool to use this new API.

The reason that keytool is in java.base is so that keys and certificates
can be managed on a small runtime. It's the same reason that it is in
our compact1 builds too. I wasn't aware of JDK-8058778 but it can't
result in java.base exporting a JDK-specific API.
