>Without robust standardization, the result will be a spaghetti of ad hoc middleware that could lower security standards to cater for the lowest common denominator and raise implementation costs, particularly for smaller providers. This seems to be based on the same sentiment as expressed in XKCD-927[1]. We will fix a standardization mess by introducing a new standard that covers all the existing use cases. Dunno if efficient end to end encrypted groups with thousands of users actually counts as an existing use case. There doesn't seem to be any way to make such a thing practical in actual use.
