  Crystal demonstrates how to bring "mutable" files to immutable, peer to peer systems, and is part of the Spritely project.

  In case you want the tl;dr of this particular update:
  - Spritely Crystal is vulnerable to all sorts of weird behavior if we write out conflicting revisions
  - Oh no, now this seems like bad design, right?
  - Oh wait a whole bunch of our technology has this problem...
  - Git has this problem! Secure Scuttlebutt has this problem!! ActivityPub has this problem!!!
  - It turns out there are theoretical limits that force us to make tradeoffs
  - So, we should at least know what those tradeoffs are
