Thanks, this was an informative read.
I'm by no means a "cryptography adult", but reading "we’re in the process of mandating that Matrix clients must never encrypt to unverified devices, but given this is a significant breaking change for the network" immediately raised the biggest red flag for me…
Like, at that point, the confidentiality of encrypted group chats is just entirely broken… o_O
