I have yet to talk to anyone who's been able to import their keyring,
which is the absolute minimum use case.  When it fails it does so
silently.  If the minimum use case of "average users should be able to
import their keyrings" leads to RNP crashing, no keys being imported,
and no error message being generated, I have no problem calling key
importation broken.

According to Kai's post on one of the TB mailing lists, he wants the
version in 78 to be a technology preview, hidden from the user, and only
accessible to power users.  I don't consider that to be shipping it for 78.
