Hello While I'm for deprecating unsecured IBR, IBR still has an important role in automation, especially in IoT, if it is made secure, as proposed in XEP-0348, ยง3.1. It provides a means of controlling amounts of accounts that can be created, and by whom (parties trusted to create certain number of accounts). Perhaps an overhaul of this process, or a new process that permits automatic Creation of accounts in a controlled manner, is better than just deprecating IBR without providing an alternative.
