Sorry about that. I saw the title, didn't know what CRDT meant, and clicked through to the document specifically to find out, not particularly wanting to read the article. I was then scan-reading and missed it. I must say in my defense, though, that the convention is to define an acronym when it's first used, excluding the title, and the definition is only at the fourth use excluding the title and first section heading.
