Fedora 7 encrypted root partition

Talking to a co-worker today, he mentioned that if Fedora could support
[1] an encrypted root filesystem he would switch to Fedora in a
heartbeat. We appear to be 99% of the way there with LUKS, and I'm
pretty sure you can hack encrypted root filesystem into FC6, but it
would be great to have a:

Encrypt partition to protect data [X]

in anaconda. Even protecting just the "home" partition would be great,
although everything would be perfect.

What do you think?

Richard.

[1] and I mean support, rather than able to hack at a random file and do
lots of stuff on the console.
