It is not appropriate to require the user to type a password on every
boot by default; this must be opt-in.

The purpose of this change is to make it possible to defer the question
of whether to encrypt, without requiring the user to reinstall.  This is
similar to what other operating systems do nowadays, and provided the
performance penalty is reasonable, is still my recommendation.
