Sure, I'm very well aware of the new upstream release and you probably noticed that Debian already ships the last RC. The final 1.2.0 will follow shortly. Bad news though regarding those privacy enhancing features: they require newer versions of wpasupplicant, like e.g. * add support for MAC address randomization in scans with nl80211 from version 2.4. The wpasupplicant version in Debian is unforunately too old and the reasons for not updating [1] seem odd. I have no idea why Stefan thinks this is somehow blocked by systemd(-networkd).
