you keep saying that core isn’t doing anything for privacy, when silent payments is exactly that and we have many PRs that are integrating it into core.
If you mean privacy like ring signatures and fancy new crypto then that is way more complicated and less likely because its not a conservative change.

Silent Payments offers me no assertion of fungibility. It is marginally better than not having it, but it is still too little too late, and missing the core issue: a basic property of money has never been privacy. It’s always been fungibility. Privacy is probably (but not certainly) a side effect of actual fungible currency. You can always spend or exchange a dollar freely. But that doesn’t hold true for Bitcoin, and Silent Payments does not address that.
