That's not true.

Patch 18 enables userspace to add keys to the system blacklist keyring,
provided those keys are validly signed:

-			      KEY_USR_SEARCH,
+			      KEY_USR_SEARCH | KEY_USR_WRITE,
 			      KEY_ALLOC_NOT_IN_QUOTA |
 			      KEY_FLAG_KEEP,
-			      NULL, NULL);
+			      restrict_link_by_system_trusted, NULL);

After this commit, you can do everything with the system blacklist keyring
that you can currently do with the IMA blacklist keyring.
