Very probably so.

I've noted another lowering of privacy, an actual real one, in Mozilla
Thunderbird.
I initially thought it was a bug, so I made an entry in Bugzilla. The
response I have received was quite startling.

I am not a crypto expert but for me, less crypto bits means less
privacy. I really do not know what to do since this crypto stuff is not
my world. If any Chapters feel this is something to take up in the
policy sphere rather on Bugzilla (which is for bugs after all), then
please feel free to do so.

Kindest regards,

Olivier
