I'm so glad this is being pursued. I'm aware of the context(I was around for early Mastodon, and have drifted away from the dev news but still have accounts I use), and the proposals sound "reasonably ambitious", in line with the idea I've daydreamed about for years that more of my online activity should go through personal AI agents, but with a sensitivity to making it work as a real distributed system. Driving things forward with demos is a good plan. The fairy cartoon aesthetic will filter out the people who don't "get" fedi, which is fine. It does fall a bit into the academic and AP-centric jargon.
Some phrases that come to mind as alternate ways of defining the issues being addressed:
"Quality of service"
"Personalized service"
"Features as services"
"Self-healing"
Or maybe go for the classic Unix reference and call them "daemons". Except that would have overlapping technical connotations.
