What we need to be doing is putting information about the quality of encryption used in a conversation in front of the users, and letting them make informed decisions, instead of fracturing the network invisibly.
Is there any defined mechanism to do this? Users are accustomed to the little padlock icons on web URLs, can XMPP client software easily implement something like this or will it need server extensions to report back? As a temporary measure, could the server send a direct message to a user alerting them if the encryption on a connection they initiate falls below a desired threshold? Inform the users, don't cut them off from their contacts and leave them no path to even tell them why.
