I wouldn’t really promote it to the level of disaster. It was one of various things that have been presented to the group that fell well short of being worth taking time over. But we moved on and I’d forgotten it until Henning’s post reminded me of it (just the name wasn’t enough).

I think there is, in theory at least, at least one way to create a hybrid protocol, I believe I mentioned it in a recent post. But it would take people with a real commitment - which usually does, and should, mean real use cases - to take this through to even experimental status. Expect to take a few years to accomplish this. (Yes, I know it might seem it shouldn’t take that long, but it will.) I’d go as far as contributing ideas I have had, and maybe a bit more, but I do not have that commitment.
