I don't think this is enough to securely erase the secret from memory. I think what this is doing is that it's changing a pointer to point to the new Fr::zero(), and then lets rust reclaim the old Fr secret eventually.

lets log an issue and we can investigate a Zeroize impl in upstream blstrs

Let's be sure to revisit this.
