    A side-rant on another naming thing: People are already promoting traditional distributed databases as "private blockchains", which is a bit like announcing "Radium Toothpaste now without Isotopes." They didn't solve the difficult trade-offs of New Thing, they're just relaxing their requirements so that they don't have to use it at all (reasonable) and don't want to admit it (annoying.)
