Okay, so i guess it's not really a question of privacy hyperfocus but just different users having very disjoint use cases. I'm not sure i'd characterise this as phoning it in: the point of the blog post and all the accompanying bugs is to spell out that we're trying to solve for once and for all the problem of how best to enable contact discovery for folks who want it (as opt-in rather than opt-out!)... while also keeping the private-messaging crew happy. Totally agreed that it's been half-baked historically though, which is why we're fixing it now that 1.0 is out the door and we have some bandwidth to address it. > Separate the flows. The idea here is absolutely to separate the flows. We don't have a final UI proposal yet (as is clear from the bugs) because we're still working it through. The closest is probably https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/10091 https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/10091 right now.
