That might be worth while. 2 - future updates to the definition of `defkeymap', for example to record all the keymaps defined, I don't see much use for that. or to use the future keymap-support for Custom, The way to define this for Custom would be with :type 'keymap, so it doesn't particularly relate to defkeymap. or to make it easier for the user to define a binding in her .emacs for a keymap which will be loaded later, ... That could be a benefit. However, the magnitude of the benefit is bounded by the difficulty of doing this now, and I think it is pretty easy (just require the package you're going to customize before you redefine its keymap).
