    I'm (as always) short of time, and GBDE is not the top priority
    for me for the time being.

    So I am more than happy to see people band together and improve
    gbde.

    The main work necessary is to polish the userland program and that
    is relatively trivial programming, so anyone should be able to pick
    that up: just go for it.

    Giving gbde a taste function so that the root filesystem can be
    protected by GBDE, this is also OK by me in principle, but I'd like
    to review the patch before it gets committed because there are a
    large number of dragons.

    In P4:phk_gbde there is the beginning of hw-crypto support through
    opencrypto(9), if somebody wants to work on that, get in touch with
    me.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
