“It can be added to the Istanbul list if someone were to spend the time to champion it. It will also need to be updated with a section on new test vectors (likely just an update for the old ones) and a section on security considerations, since we are adjusting gas prices.” https://gitter.im/ethereum/AllCoreDevs?at=5cbf16602e2caa1aa6a6b92d
AZTEC is quite interested in getting this EIP into Istanbul and we’re happy to try and push this forward. I’ve submitted a pull request to update the EIP and also to add it as a proposed EIP in eip-1679
Original author of the EIP from Keep here, just to register support and thank Zac for picking up the baton here and filling in a bunch of details Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help ensure EIP-1108 slots on in!
