It never received the dedication needed to sort out the stacked filesystem design issues and its crypto design is aging without updates/improvements for some time. The majority of the user base, which came about when Ubuntu added home dir encryption as an option in the installer, has greatly decreased since Ubuntu removed it from the installer and dropped official support several years back. Finally, fscrypt should provide a more than complete alternative for the majority of use cases. Deprecating and removing is the right thing to do. I can devote some time to limping it by until removal but would also appreciate a hand if anyone has time/interest. Tyler > > Thx, > Yangtao
