a centralized source of truth is a pretty successful approach to distributed systems? seems more like a successful escape hatch. yes it's simpler, but it's ant

  well, i mean, the web is a distributed system of servers providing resource representations specified by universal resource locators it seems to have been fairly successful to me i think you are associating 'distributed' w/peer-to-peer models, whereas i'm using it in the broader sense of networked software that can interact (link) to one another i have no beef w/ peer-to-peer and it would be interesting to think about how hypermedia could layer on top of that model, but i'm not an expert on that sort of stuff so I can't have particularly informed opinions on it
