 Are editors expected to maintain their entries on a topic? Will they become able to merge a fork and not care about it anymore eventually? 
 Yeah, an editor willl be able to propose having their entry merged into someone else’s and “defer” their entry to the other version. 
 it would be cool to surface areas where diverging webs of trust overlap between teo npubs. I.e. I could search for where @saif and paul krugmans world views are similar
