I'm not a big fan of invisibility, but if we're going to do it then we
might as well do it right.

Some clients and servers use XEP-0018, but it violates the core XMPP
specs, which seems like a bad idea.

Some clients and server use privacy lists (XEP-0016 + XEP-0126), but
they're complicated and I'd prefer to deprecate them if possible (that's
really a separate discussion topic).

Years ago I defined a "better" solution in XEP-0186, but we never pushed
it forward from Experimental to Draft. I don't know if any clients and
servers include support for XEP-0186, but if so it would be good to
know. In any case, I'm wondering if folks are interested in seeing
XEP-0186 move to Draft so that we can deprecate XEP-0018 and XEP-0126.

Thoughts?
