Neutrino is very controversial, and NOT less trustful than bloom filters. It also uses significantly more bandwidth. It seems a better approach is to add Stratum (Electrum) support, and to limit usage of all pseudo-SPV protocols to trusted peers. > The fact that nobody cared about extending it for SW may also underline that > BIP37 is seen as a conceptual mistake and/or "low interest in further > extensions“. Eric Lombrozo added segwit support. While it was never reviewed for Core, it has been included and supported in Knots since v0.15.1. As I understand it, his mSIGNA wallet also makes usage of the feature.
