It's highly concerning to me that the rhetoric has shifted from actual security concerns such as auditing to whether a message deletion feature is useful.

Such a feature makes sense when we consider the pervasive world of targeted attacks. If you compromise say, my email client today, you may get years of email. If you compromise my Pond client today, you get a weeks worth of messages. Such a feature is something I think is useful and I agreed to it when I started using Pond. It is a kind of forward secrecy that understands that attackers sometimes win but you'd like them to not win everything for all time. Seems rather reasonable, really. Hardly malware but hardly perfect.
