Nobody has ever disputed that it's possible for the Matrix team to build a secure messaging protocol. I'm sure you can. But: have you yet?
By way of example: TLS 1.0 is dead as a doornail, too. If you like, we can use a different word to capture the equivalence class here. TLS 1.0 and the current Matrix protocol: "ex-parrots".
This whole situation is wild. What we're discussing on this thread is the single most impactful set of cryptographic vulnerability findings against any secure messaging system ever. And this thread is, I think, one of a very few places on the whole Internet where there's even a conversation about it. Everybody else is just rolling along as if nothing happened.
If I sound mean about this, I don't mean to be. But, fair warning, I'm in full-on "wake up, sheeple" mode over this.
