Good idea, if time will de-classify your sensitive data.

But the key to an encrypted filesystem *will* eventually be
brute-forced, so if you have data that needs to stay secret for more
than, say, 5 years (factoring in Moore's Law and as-yet-undreamed-of
advances in cryptoanalysis), you had better not rely solely on crypto.
