As a home users...with desktop systems.. I'm much more concerned about data integrity, recovery in case of a harddrive failure, and data archiving than I am about someone getting access to 99% of the information throughout my home directory. And no a dd of the whole filesystem to a different disk certainly doesn't count in my book as "home user oriented" and doesn't meet my other needs for transparency if the encyption is left in place. For my personal use I'd find it much more reasonable to have the option to encapsulate sensitive personal information from that of information I can transparently backup to make it easier to sort through the backup material when necessary. -jef
