Bah, that got insufficient testing, so we=E2=80=99ll have to back up on thi=
s.  I
thought from http://bugs.gnu.org/19190 that we were done, but we=E2=80=99re=
 not.

I=E2=80=99ve reverted recommendations of an encrypted root in the manual.  =
A bit
of a shame, but we=E2=80=99ll fix it soonish.

Thanks for the report!
