I would not trust any company/website to properly encrypt any important messages in the first place so I don't care whether they add a backdoor (and I've never had a Twitter account anyway).
..but it sounds like a really shitty development/release process to me. Why would you disable something while whatever is to come in its place is not ready yet?
Why not do the development first and then migrate when it's actually ready lol
There may be several reasons for this. If I had to guess, they found a critical flaw and had to shut it down for security reasons.
