I thought we gave up with invisibility anyway. Especially that this can be quite easily achieved with privacy lists without those unwanted side effects. And privacy lists give us much more flexibility to set invisibilityfor a single user, group.....
Yes, I agree, privacy lists give us all we need for invisibility. Some might see this as abusing privacy lists, but IMO, that's what they are for. They are to block presence or messages to specific users and/or groups. And "all users" could also be seen as a group.
What I personally like about privacy lists: I can have my "own invisibility mode", which means I'm invisible to all except a few persons.
I can also have more than one invisiblility mode: For example one that just hides me from groups that are often annoying. Ideally, the client would have a sub-menu invisible where I can define my own invisible modes via privacy lists.
There's only one thing I'm missing in privacy lists: Time-based privacy lists. So you can say "I want to be invisible to group A, B, C etc. from 8pm to 8am". This would be for example useful if you don't want to get annoyed by your co-workers in the evening. The server would then automatically enable the privacy list if you selected a time for it.
