Silence hasn't been updated in four years. I'm not sure I trust it to patch any future vulnerabilities.

The rest seems like a non-issue though. Plenty of open source apps to put in by default.

Ah, thats fair, didn't know that silence hasn't been updated in awhile. But was mainly just using that app as an example, but I know there are tons of open-source messaging apps to bundle in. I think it's very likely you might see a "choose your default messaging app" at install, where you get to choose from a list of like 4 to have installed.
