I hereby propose that we reject entirely this iteration 3 and give higher priority to VeraCrypt Mounter.

I agree. I would still like to do this, but the VeraCrypt Mounter is more important (for reference, see the discussion on Feature #15628#note-5 and following).

I’ll read that discussion in order to understand this proposal and then let’s make a decision during our next meeting on Monday (worst case). Spoiler: I’m inclined to trust you on this one so unless I identify something you both have missed — unlikely — there’s a good chance I’ll agree :)

I have read Feature #15628#note-5 and following and it seems to me that your (plural) conclusion is based on the analysis of the “File container without .hc extension” scenario.
FTR my analysis is slightly different (Feature #15628#note-8) and does not logically imply that the lack of VeraCrypt Mounter would be such a big problem.
I’d like to discuss this and reach a common conclusion during our meeting tomorrow. But if you want to comment on Redmine, let’s continue this discussion where it started (Feature #15628).

But after discussing this topic a bit with segfault, regardless of how critical we think VeraCrypt Mounter is, I agree its more important than iteration 3.

I think we can reject this. We don’t have any budget anymore for the VeraCrypt project and I don’t plan to work on this. @intrigeri, do you agree?

Absolutely, please reject all subtasks and then this ticket.

That’s because it’s blocked by Feature #15223. I’ll fix that myself.
