I definitely think this should be rolled back. We're past the beta

Thunderbird's update is not broken, it has no API/ABI breakages.
Everything works just fine.
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
OpenPGP is now build-in into Thunderbird core. No third party addons
required.
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.
Fedora is a bleeding edge distribution. If you need a legacy version of
any package, you can always build it in COPR. I want to use the most
recent version.
While I agree with wanting the latest version, and it doesn't break
anything I use, from the release notes linked above:
"Thunderbird version 78.2.1 is only offered as direct download from
thunderbird.net and not as an upgrade from Thunderbird version 68 or
earlier. A future release will provide updates from earlier versions.
Automatic updates are available for users already running version 78.0
or higher."
Sounds to me they don't expect 78.2.1 to be entirely compatible with
profiles from the previous version.
