Problem with ZeroLink is the same as with JoinMarket - it requires some centralized coordinator server. I'm not sure that's ok with Bitcoin Core, see discussion here.
I agree, the centralization makes it a non-starter for Core. In fact Chaumian CoinJoin is more centralized than JoinMarket. JoinMarket only requires a bulletin board, Chaumian CoinJoin requires a coordinator that does various stuff. A more decentralized version of Chaumian CoinJoin would be CoinShuffle. It requires a bulletin board, too. There might be some other jobs a server must do.
I also have Byzantine Cycle Mode in my mind, someone interested in fully decentralized mixing might want to take a look at that.
feature creeping. Bitcoin Core should focus on being a full node.
Should have started this discussion on the mailing list, closing
