might get fixed, nice to have
The precise timing of HTLC forwards can enable an on-path adversary to determine with some accuracy the full payment path. One possible mitigation is to add jitter to each forwarded HTLC, like this C-Lightning plugin.
Serious thought needs to be put into this feature to actually withstand serious statistical analysis. Of course it should be optional, and off by default.
