Meanwhile increasing the risk of everybody else, because once that 
feature is a documented part of the system everybody will assume that 
everybody will use it. Good look defending against a "Destruction of 
Evidence" accusation, in case that happens in a situation with a LEO.

Same as the hidden volume "feature" of Truecypt which everybody will 
assume you use, because it's such a swell feature. (Plausible 
deniabilty? Yeah sure <snort>)


In short:
The documented existence of such a feature is a risk by itself.
