Rich Trouton is going to give a session at the upcoming Mactech Conference
on FV2. The description of his talk seems to indicate there may be more
going on with FV2 than the Macworld article indicates.

FileVault 2 Decoded
One of the changes to come with Mac OS X 10.7.x (Lion) has been that Apple
has revamped its FileVault encryption solution, changing it from encryption
that primarily protected your account's home folder to encryption that
protects your whole boot volume. Despite the common name, the two solutions
are very different beasts. If you've used FileVault on 10.3.x - 10.6.x for
either personal use or at work, be aware that (almost) everything you know
about it is changed in FileVault 2 on 10.7.x. This session will cover
briefly where we've been with FileVault on 10.3.x - 10.6.x and how Apple has
taken the lessons learned from FileVault and applied them to FileVault 2.
The session will also cover how to get your own Mac encrypted and decrypted
with FileVault 2. Lastly, the session will cover how to rollout FileVault 2
deployments in the enterprise and how to centrally manage the FileVault 2
recovery key across multiple Macs.
