I'm grateful Whatsapp itself finally made a public statement about this as well, but I would hope they would go a step further and integrate this new change into its Privacy Policy as well.
Then they would be at least somewhat legally committed to using end-to-end encryption for the foreseeable future in which they'll keep using e2e encryption. I'd have a little more trust in them that they aren't just going to drop the E2E encryption for various individuals with just a phone call from government officials.
