Once we obtain silk touch for our pickaxes, ores will still need to be extracted with a different pick - one with fortune, hopefully. It would be great to be able to automate this process with a new Redstone-enabled workstation called the Crusher that could extract the ore and also provide any byproduct (stone, deepslate, etc.).
Of course the potential drawback would be that you would lose the extra ores from a fortune pickaxe, but what if you could enchant the workstation via anvil? There could be exactly one enchantment, fortune, that the Crusher is capable of holding. It could even have the glint animation showing that it's "leveled up" to extract the optimal amount of ores/stone.
This workstation can then be powered by Redstone much like the Crafter, where one click equals one extraction - 1 ore block input, 2 byproduct output. Imagine throwing all your ore blocks into the Crusher, feeding the ores into a furnace array, having them run through a crafter, and almost instantly receive ingots! Taking it further, you could then have multiple crafters setup to craft chains, nuggets, bars, and any of the massive inventory of copper/iron blocks!
