As LUKS1 is still widely in use, it would not be a good idea to take it down, buit ther is potential for confusion.=20 I have made it even clearer now in the Wiki that it is not=20 the LUKS2 FAQ. That does not exist at the moment. I expect that at some time it will be a good idea to make=20 it dual-version with a marker of "LUKS", "LUKS2" or "LUKS+LUKS2"=20 for each entry, but I think LUKS2 is still too fluid for that at the moment. Will existing features be stable after 2.4.0 or do you plan=20 additional changes?=20 Regards, Arno --=20 Arno Wagner, Dr. sc. techn., Dipl.
