    One important benefit will be, that it discards the key when locking the screen (when integrated in the DE). So the drive is protected when you are not at your machine. The old mechanism only discards the key when restarting the computer. But who shuts his/hers laptop down…

      Thx for the clarification.

      I’m one of those persons that (tries to) shut their computer off every time they’re not using it — waste less energy, you know, stuff like that ;)
