Given that one of the few things I still get text messages for is two-factor authentication codes from people who should know better (looking at you financial institutions ...), SMS can't die soon enough from my POV. Although replacing it with an un-encrypted protocol in 2019 seems a tad silly, and one can only hope they choose to move to better 2FA methods rather than RCS.
