I didn't know these, and after looking at it, i don't think they would have allowed me to do what i did: take an existing "blessed" history, and shuffle it "as much as possible while avoiding conflicts". But they sure look like patch theory under a disguise. The concept of "unapplied patch" in particular might be worth stealing.
