What is your definition of 'these methods' and what is the established literature on them that you'd want to see cited? I'd be surprised if the specific construction and results that they need have been published.

The two authors are no slouches... I certainly wouldn't roll my eyes at them.

I don't know if this work is particularly ground breaking, but this looks to be more concerned with applications towards number theory (specifically cohen-lenstra heuristics) rather than adding to the category theory literature.
