Only for qemu, of course---qemu-img would still have support for 
encryption, and there's no reason to risk stability by removing all the 
monitor code right now.

However, wouldn't we have the same problems even with a sane encrypted 
image format (based on LUKS, for example)?

Let's just open bugs (oh if only Launchpad supported tracker bugs) for now.
