I didn't know about this response, thank you for pointing it out. However, this response fails to address the main criticism of the XMPP+ONEMO:

To understand why this is true, you only need check whether OMEMO is on by default (it isn’t), or whether OMEMO can be turned off even if your client supports it (it can).

Both of these conditions fail the requirements I outlined under the End-to-End Encryption header in that other blog post.

And that’s all that I should have needed to say on the matter.
