I definitely think this should be rolled back.  We're past the beta freeze, and IMO, this violates the updates policy which states "Package maintainers MUST:   Avoid Major version updates, ABI breakage, or API changes if at all possible."

Personally, I think this change warrants its own self-contained change proposal in the next release of Fedora, even though Thunderbird 68 will not receive updates after Sep 2020: https://blog.thunderbird.net/2020/09/openpgp-in-thunderbird-78/

One way or another, I need to roll back until SOGo has time to finish porting their extension to the new API.  After rolled back, the Lightning extension isn't enabled or even visible in Add-ons, so I have to figure out how to fix that.

Given that downgrading is not trivial, can this update be backed out ASAP?  I'll put in a BZ as soon as I'm not tied up in meetings.
