MODERATORS
I agree that this would be a better title, but it still belies the deeper points: the Session devs made sloppy or weak cryptographic decisions when there's no seemingly reasonable justification for them. It points to a lack of understanding, ignorance, or possibly malicious intent (though the last seems less likely to me).
So, what happens when they do something really wrong? Doesn't seem that far-fetched that it's a matter of "when," given how they've implemented everything else.
