There is also the thing that the FAQ is LUKS1, not LUKS2.
As LUKS1 is still widely in use, it would not be a good
idea to take it down, buit ther is potential for confusion. 
I have made it even clearer now in the Wiki that it is not 
the LUKS2 FAQ. That does not exist at the moment.

I expect that at some time it will be a good idea to make 
it dual-version with a marker of "LUKS", "LUKS2" or "LUKS+LUKS2" 
for each entry, but I think LUKS2 is still too fluid for that
at the moment.

Will existing features be stable after 2.4.0 or do you plan 
additional changes? 

Regards,
Arno
