Very good question with a very good answer. Thanks!
Tony, do you think Anton's (SBW wallet) private routing proposal could help in some way if could be introduced/adapted in more LN implementations? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw0NP8EHheI

I have not looked at in awhile. Is that the same or similar to Immortan? If it works like the way I assume it could work, I was always a fan of it in concept. I am not sure how difficult it is to accomplish on the UX side, and I believe you're seeking privacy behind a third party, which is an improvement than everyone knowing when you're also wanting to be a routing node. But in general, I like the concept of non-custodial "community nodes" which is probably not marketed that way but in my head that's the way I have thought about the problem I think they are trying to solve.

Yes, private routing is part of Immortan implementation. Some kind of trampoline channels. Definitely worth looking into. Maybe @fiatjaf could help with more insight here.

It was never released. The code is there but I am not sure if it works and the details are nebulous to me. If you happen to be near Ukraine you could go ask Anton.
