I was actually thinking about proposing exactly this when I saw Moxie's original description, but I began to worry about the details, like: - If someone joins a conversation later, who do they inherit their vector clocks from? Someone who invited them to the conversation? - What about siblings? (same problem as git) - Could this actually result in confusing/deceptive output? -- Tony Arcieri
