Hidden containers are less useful than you might imagine in practice for a variety of reasons. Some of these points are relevant.
None of those points are relevant, except maybe "it's difficult to get right".
The first third of the thread, people are either not talking about hidden containers or don't know what a hidden container is, and instead go on about various steganographic methods of hiding the use of encryption. (E.g. "LUKS header, by design, is visible header."... that goes for TrueCrypt as well, and has nothing to do with hidden containers.)
In the middle third of the thread, they're discussing variations of "it's hard!" and "you can't protect the outer container" (though TrueCrypt does just that).
In the last third of the thread, random people are musing about their little pet-ideas and other off-topic tangents.
There are good arguments for not adding hidden containers to LUKS, most importantly the fact that nobody's stepping up to implement it, but no real arguments against hidden containers.
