I believe there is a use-case for an encrypted home+swap which should be considered. If you use Linux in an enterprise setup and your employees need both Windows and Linux for their daily tasks you will want to have their machines set up for dual boot. If they also happen to use laptops which they take home regularly for work there is a serious risk of their computers being stolen on the way home. This would compromise secret documents, source code, local emails if there is no encryption present. We don't care about the system being compromised (highly unlikely that we will ever get it back), we care about stolen data. Currently, we solve this problem with an installer script that was created based on the article mentioned above, but we are hoping the installer will support this out-of-the-box in the next release.
