+luksrku
+=======
+
+**Warning** luksrku is currently *highly* experimental software. It is not
+intended for production use yet. It is released following the "release early,
+release often" philosophy in the hope to get valuable feedback for possible
+areas of improvement. Please only use it when you're pretty certain that you
+know what you're doing. Better yet, only use it after code review. If you've
+reviewed my code, please let me know. I'm very interested in any and all
+feedback. Drop it at joe@johannes-bauer.com, please. Thanks!
