Most are in security-testing, but we're not sure if creds will

Hmm, neither of these are exactly true. This is the security
solution in Harmattan.
the fact that some random linux distro adds patches to add an ABI does
not make it a Linux ABI nor part of MeeGo.
Moreover, its not 'deprecated already'.
Its just not ready yet to be generic security API.
well if it never goes upstream.... it's pretty close to that.
