I've seen crypto done quite nicely using the translation kit (which makes a
lot of sense when you think about it), but sticking it in a CryptoKit just
sort of graces the whole thing with officialness - it's part of the OS that
way. From that perspective it's more an issue of appearances than a question
of where the code actually lives. But I see your point about boot time
troubles. Maybe separate logical encrypted volumes, like what PGPdisk does,
would be a good way to tackle this.
