encrypting root by default would be a bad idea, as the encryption takes
away a lot of performance and usability (not so much because of
stressing the cpu, more because of additional latency and design issues).
Also I prefer a non-luks setup with rsa keys and passphrases on them,
so I can replace that with smart cards and pin if I prefer.
