For the record, the only reason I proposed merging them in multiple sets
was that it is a large set of changes and I was leery of regressions. I
don't see a lot of value in enabling just filename encryption without
the content piece.

I'd be fine with merging it all en-masse, though it's a bit more to wade
through if we end up having to bisect to track down a bug.
