People often complain about the alert that you get when one of your contacts joins Signal but this is exactly what that attempts to solve

There was a time when contacts that use Signal were listed above contacts that are only reachable through SMS.
Those two groups of contacts then got mixed making it much harder to see who's on Signal and who isn't.
Back then I thought that was deliberate. It would be surprising to me, if the desire to avoid that self-inflicted confusion would have contributed to the decision to discontinue SMS support.
