RE: LRW for Linux
There will be a revised draft incorporating the test vectors soon after
Cyril has released them (and perhaps after you've cross-checked them!).
We don't plan any further changes, but be forewarned that the IEEE
standards process includes a further round of public comment, which
might well result in wording changes to the document. I sincerely doubt
whether algorithmic changes would be included, though.

Thanks that would be great!
Another question: Is this draft likely to be the final version or do I
have to expect changes, in other words, can I recommend dm-crypt users
to switch to LRW?
