What intrigeri wanted to say is that since 1.2, when starting TrueCrypt,
people were warned that it would be removed in 1.2.1 and pointed to that
piece of documentation explaining how to open TC volume with cryptsetup.
So people actively using TrueCrypt have been pointed to that doc and
already know how to continue using their existing volumes in 1.2.1.
I find this more elegant than hammering the blog about the end of a
"feature" that that has been deprecated for years.
