You are just spouting false propaganda now. The Core equivalent to Xthin, "Compact Blocks", has been released in Bitcoin Core since version 13.0.0

Please point out where I am spouting false propaganda.... You previously conflated xthin and compact blocks as if they were the same thing. Xthin is not being used by the network. And there are developers who have reasons to believe that increasing the block size will have a centralizing effect on mining. This is not "fixed" as you stated before.

You said: "If Bitcoin were to implement xthin (or an alternative proposal such as compact blocks) it would be much better to release outside of the block increase."

Fact: Both xthin and compact blocks are different implementations of the same idea. Both have already been implemented and released and are in active production.
