Agreed. Whether it's "I don't have service" or "My battery is dead," there are a number of conditions that keep a recipient from seeing a message right away, all of which are (usually) temporary.

Relying on "delivered" takes care of all of those situations, and is much more elegant in the UI than adding an "auto responder" message.
