Is "active" established terminology? I wouldn't have guessed its
meaning from its name...
As far as I can see, QCryptoBlockCreateOptionsLUKS is used just for
blockdev-create with options.driver \in { luks, qcow, qcow2 }:
{ 'command': 'blockdev-create',
'data': { ...
'options': 'BlockdevCreateOptions' } }
{ 'union': 'BlockdevCreateOptions',
...
'data': {
...
'luks': 'BlockdevCreateOptionsLUKS',
...
'qcow': 'BlockdevCreateOptionsQcow',
'qcow2': 'BlockdevCreateOptionsQcow2',
... } }
With luks:
{ 'struct': 'BlockdevCreateOptionsLUKS',
'base': 'QCryptoBlockCreateOptionsLUKS',
... }
With qcow and qcow2:
{ 'struct': 'BlockdevCreateOptionsQcow',
'data': { ...
'*encrypt': 'QCryptoBlockCreateOptions' } }
{ 'struct': 'BlockdevCreateOptionsQcow2',
'data': { ...
'*encrypt': 'QCryptoBlockCreateOptions',
... } }
{ 'union': 'QCryptoBlockCreateOptions',
'base': 'QCryptoBlockOptionsBase',
'discriminator': 'format',
'data': { ...
'luks': 'QCryptoBlockCreateOptionsLUKS' } }
I think I understand why we want blockdev-create to be able to specify a
new secret.
Why do we want it to be able to delete an existing secret? How would
that even work? Color me confused...

Excuse my possibly ignorant question: what exactly is a "matching
keyslot"?

More ignorance: what is "amend"? No mention of it in qapi/*json...
