Yeah. It’s also quite inefficient by default - because you’re storing deleted items and you have a uuid per character. And you usually want the other parts from a crdt which this discards. Like, a consistent ordering rule for siblings. Doing so barely adds any code (like 10 lines or so) and it makes the system way more useful.

I don’t really understand the benefit of doing this when text CRDTs are small, simple and fast.
