Well, if you ask me, we can work out the UI for a 3-way choice when a
third way is implemented. Doing shredding would presumably be noted
by adding another flag[0] for it anyway, so doing it on top of this
patch oughtn't take it out of its way. Nobody's implemented it in the
last 10 years that there's been a comment suggesting it.
So, from my selfish perspective, I'd as soon land this as a solid step
forward, and worry about a shredding implementation when one gets
written...
[0] I mean, I _guess_ we could add another element into the
metadata/softc structs just to hold a 3-way 'delete handling'
option, but that sounds way heavier-weight than necessary. Also
would need new geli version and blah.
