It's bizarre that this is an arxiv post instead of a IEEE-style RFC (or an actual RFC, why not). In my experience, the RFC format makes implementation extremely simple - where this comes across as a borderline useless PR stunt. Their official spec is also pretty bad - I remember walking away from it a while back, and a brief skim reminded me why (beyond the style of the document): > These specifications cover most details as implemented in Bluesky's reference implementation.
