I’m glad they’re adding support, but I also feel like this is a hard one to sell to the general public. If it creates a better experience, word will get around about it, but going on stage and talking at length about how there’s a new messaging protocol would have been a challenge for non-technical viewers
I just read they decided to default it to off. They should remove it entirely imo, but with this move, it costs IT departments $0 and 0 hours of their time to worry about.
I think business + government + education usage is more important for them than personal, and as long as this costs them nothing, I doubt it makes a dent in anyone’s plans. Could have been an apocalypse if defaulted to on though.
Win or lose, I’m not worried about how it looks in hindsight. The way I see it is we’re doing the best we can with the information we have at this time. It wasn’t looking good for him.
The effects of this change will also be much bigger than this election alone. It’s a jump-start in rebuilding the identity of the party into something that might actually interest voters.
