WhatsApp issue (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jan/13/whatsapp-backdoor-allows-snooping-on-encrypted-messages …) isn't really a backdoor, but it highlights the need for key transparency (https://security.googleblog.com/2017/01/security-through-transparency.html …)

Why would CONIKS mean more advisory notif's? Key change is still possible—just auditable—so malicious change is discouraged.

Yes but the same could be said for non-blocking notifications, and people seem to think that's not good enough.

Blocking what? Retransmission of in-flight messages? Notification style seems independent of whether key change is auditable

In this case people are told a key change occurred, the objection is that it's after the fact. CONIKS is even more so.
