This is technically a CRDT. It's just that the "order of operations" to apply over the doc is now resolved using a central server. For context, this is exactly how Google Docs and Zoho Writer works currently. Except that, they use OT with central-server based reconciliation and the proposal uses CRDT-istic approach. I agree this is more practical if your service anyway run over centralised servers (aka cloud)

> This is technically a CRDT. It's just that the "order of operations" to apply over the doc is now resolved using a central server. This is not true. One of the most basic traits of CRDTs is that updates are performed without coordination. Relying on a central server to coordinate conflict resolution rejects two of the main traits of CRDTs. There is a name-drop, but there is no substance.
