Poop bags (wag bags) are standard in mountaineering. Ive done multi day pushes and had to carry my own waste. The scale of Everest makes it more challenging for sure, can't help but think it will just be more of a burden on the sherpa.
On other mountains Denali for example, they have a specific rules depending on the zone. For example: "most bags of human waste collected in CMCs at all elevations—including at 14,200-foot Camp, where climbers spend the majority of their time acclimatizing and waiting for good weather—are thrown into crevasses between Basecamp and 14,200-foot Camp."
