I think you're mixing up "using the TrueCrypt software" and "using
TrueCrypt volumes". Let's clarify.
We stopped shipping the TrueCrypt software for good reasons, but we
still support TrueCrypt volumes (as you know, since you wrote part of
the documentation). For interoperability purposes (not mentioning the
"hidden volume" feature, which I'm less sure about), IMO it would be
good to support such volumes graphically.
Now, introducing yet another frontend would feel inconsistent IMO
(especially one that also supports LUKS, that we already have good
support for) => I believe the needed support should be added to
udisks first (that's #6337), so that GNOME Disks can support it as
well some day, in the very same interface as LUKS :)
