Yes, this is the real "contribution" of reporting a bug with
(possibly even unrelated) project name in headlines.

But seems users themselves correct some stupid article comments,

Sometimes I wish security is less theater and more responsibility...
(This bug cost me hours of explanation that upstream has nothing to fix
and that in fact the cryptsetup/LUKS worked as designed.)
