It seems odd that they would remove all of the binaries as well. Want to commit a readonly version? Fine. But what about now, when less technical folks might want to install TrueCrypt on a new computer?

The point is, now another entity will need to establish validity as being a trusted provider; there was no reason to rock the boat per se, and as someone who laughs at most things, it just... really isn't altogether funny, unfortunately.

edit: assuming that it turned out to be a joke, for the sake of discussion (though is there a difference at this point?)

They've always removed old binaries when they release new ones. They used to ban users from their forums when they asked for old binaries.

They've changed binaries too without bumping the version number and then re-released them unannounced.

This has been known for a very long time now. I'm not sure why people are surprised at the latest developments:

Interesting. Admittedly I hadn't paid a lot of attention other than "get the latest release and install it", so I wasn't aware that they did any of those things. Thanks for clarifying.
