It may not look like it's the case, but I do want to take such
concerns into account (and, TBH, this wasn't the case until a few
months ago).
I think that any decision on this topic has to take into account
whether someone, out there, is making this better option available,
and usable without running command lines by hand, and without running
a TC-specific GUI.
I mean: if we can reasonably believe that such a better option will be
available in the foreseeable future, then I'm personally 100% fine
with keeping TC until then. But if nobody is working on making this
happen, then every single day we keep shipping TC, more people will be
getting used to it being available, and then it becomes harder and
harder to ever drop it.

I do agree.
This being said, being unable to do it automatically doesn't prevent
GNOME to allow the user to do it easily (without resorting to
cryptsetup on the command-line).
