Unrealistic, isn't it? Who could possibly pay for design, implementation
and maintenance? Look how many millions The Tor Project received over
the last years. [1]

To no avail. Fixing confirmation attacks or other hard anonymity
problems still isn't on the horizon.

I am happy to be proven wrong, but not positive that this will happen.
