I do think that technical solutions are a more sure-fire way method to make sure fungibility and privacy is maintained in the future
I don't disagree, and I've said as much in the past:

It is unrealistic to say "Well, privacy will be better once we convince everyone to stop using centralized exchanges". As much as I wish everyone would stop using centralized exchanges, the only way for that to happen is if centralized exchanges cease to exist. If we want better privacy, and if we want bitcoin to remain fungible, then we need to implement change at a protocol level.
I would absolutely support more privacy at a protocol level, I would absolutely support a technical solution with guarantees bitcoin fungibility, and indeed such protocol changes are the only way we will ever guarantee fungibility. Education of the community will never get us there, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop talking about this and trying to get as many people as possible to stop tacitly supporting taint by using services and business which enforce such nonsense.
That's where I'd honestly appreciate a board where it's possible to discuss Altcoins which already have made such advances in privacy technology and see if whatever they came up with (1) is actually secure and private, (2) can be implemented in Bitcoin and (3) build test implementations and play around with them.
But I guess it can be done in Development & Technical discussion, since such topics would be focused on that tech's usage in Bitcoin of course.
