Yep; the meat of it being: "So it appears that the unexpected (putting
it mildly) disappearance of TrueCrypt.org and the startling disavowal of
TrueCrypt's bullet proof security will turn out to be a brief
disturbance in the force. We should know much more about a trustworthy
TrueCrypt in the late summer of 2014."

It is just weird how this was all handled, but remember the full-on
gasping panic when other forks have happened?  Like XFree/X.Org.  And
the world went on about its merry way and everything continued to
work.  

Gasping panic and falling-skies crisis does makes great tweeter fodder.

It is doubly odd that security "experts" would conduct things this way.
Oh well... humans be crazy.  If it works for you - just keep using it.
