That’s the point about interoperability. If we’re going to make “email v2” (not a terrible idea!), then the considerations that will go into securing it will ensure that it’s entirely incompatible with the thing we currently call email.

In other words: without sufficient clarity, email v2 just confuses people like my parents. Who would be better served by Signal anyways.

Vendors big enough to be known by your parents are sophisticated enough to paper over the differences and make it seamless. (Where possible)
“Where possible” is doing a lot of work!
