Exactly. I thought it was pretty clear that I was talking about the kernel providing great crypto (read: random) by default for the things it already provides.
Similarly there's a need for great "APIs/frameworks/design patterns" for what the kernel doesn't provide. I predict over the next 5 years this will become a far bigger priority in how people develop software and thus use libraries.
