This should be two separate patches.

[A] Removing usage type='passphrase' (possibly merged into 2/7), pushed
before the next release, to avoid ever releasing it.

[B] would only add the TLS usage and be a part of the TLS series.
It would basically consist of this patch [3/7] and a revert of [A], so
splitting them out should not be much pain.

[B] should be pushed along with the rest of TLS functionality, which might
or might not end up in this release.
