I wonder if they'll add RCS
Don't Google hold the keys to the kingdom on that one? I see it as unlikely that Signal adds support.
I'm not sure, at least iMessage will add RCS. But this has the benefit to get the correct chat bubble color for Google. I'm not sure if there'll be anything to gain for them to include Signal. Maybe the EU will force them.
RCS isn't E2E, and it doesn't minimize metadata.
Moxie Marlinspike has been strongly against federation in Signal because of how it makes avoiding metadata almost impossible.
I'd say there's basically zero chances Signal will add RCS.
E2E is not in the standard, but the Google implementation uses it.

You're right. I've read somewhere that Apple plans to work with GSMA to add encryption to the official RCS standard, so this major issue hopefully gets fixed at some point.
