Maybe someone should suggest this to the team? They probably did that from the get go, but now no longer need to.

  They said on Github that they are keeping it for a while, so that users still can receive encrypted SMS from users that haven't updated yet.

    Okay, cool. Sounds like they're doing the right thing.

    if your friend updates and you don't, the encryption still fails though

    I believe the GitHub issue is about catching intents by default. In case people were thinking support for using TS as a SMS app was going away, here's an excerpt from the mailing list that says it's not: >> [whispersystems] Can we remove the SMS feature completely? >> Since the secure SMS option is removed. To reduce the confusion, can we remove insecure SMS option too? > <insert thread of disagreements> > Re: [whispersystems] Can we remove the SMS feature completely? > Everyone can rest assured, we have no plans to do this. I'm pretty committed to an integrated messenger. > - moxie (For some reason this Apr 1 message is not in the mailinglist archives. Not sure what's up with that.)
