Delete cryptoloop
What ? :)
I use cryptoloop for all my DVD archives and local partitions! When dm-crypt will be stable, well tested and compatible with cryptoloop it could make sense to move to it, otherwise not.
Please do not remove cryptoloop from the stable kernel.

might" and "we shouldn't do this in a stable kernel".
Well, I want to hear from "someone else". If removing cryptoloop will irritate five people, well, sorry. If it's 5,000 people, well maybe
not.

I use cryptoloop and I would be really annoyed if it disappeared in the stable kernel series. Besides, I read in another mail in this thread that dm-crypt will not work with file-based storage (I'm using cryptoloop on a file), and that it is new and potentially buggy.
I'm really surprised that people here argue that dm-crypt doesn't get enough testing so cryptoloop has to go to force people to test dm-crypt with their valuable data. This is all upside-down. First dm-crypt has to be stable, safe and feature-complete, then people can convert their data to dm-crypt and only then can cryptoloop be deleted.
