A normal reboot is needed at least as often as you push new kernels (we

bring back hundreds of machines as fast as you can.
A reboot for new kernels is a planned event right?
And we're not necessarily talking about 100s of machines needing the
encryption, only a few that really really need it. Basically don't
write off encryption as a local only technology.
No argument about the value - but it seems similar to the need for the
md devices at boot time. If you don't need it, why include it in the
install? A tool help modify initrd post-install would be nice to fix
things up when the boot hardware or requirements change, though.
