e2e could be enforced for the DHT clients if the user states they aren't going to be using SIP though, right?

Either way, I don't use SIP so that feature isn't a dealbreaker for me.

That needs user intervention, which implies his understanding of why it is necessary.

Here's a better idea, remove backwards compatibility. Perhaps they could release a separate SIP client under a different name. Just keep it away from Ring itself. Let Ring be actually secure.
