In Zed/CRDTs, these two seem synonymous to me since the OP's article is the first I read about CRDTs that I grasped, or so I thought ;)

Doesn't the whole process assume that whenever any edit is done (insertion/deleteion/un-/redo) that the edit _eventually_ reaches all participants?

So if a single edit is believed to be delivered to all, but actually never made it to a single participant, who resends it? And if it's not resent, then the participants state is inconsistent from now on, no?

Edit:autocorrect
