This is a "holy grail" problem in distributed systems (which this library doesn't solve on its own), but suggesting that it's not a valid problem to solve is confusing. Have you not encountered the use cases or do you prefer a different solution? With either of those objections spelled out this could be an interesting thread!

Information-security can be oversimplified as one big "holy grail" problem unto itself - and when someone presents some software and proclaims it is "the" solution to that problem, but in fact has presented only a partial solution, then we call it "security theatre" and denounce it with extreme prejudice.

I believe the comment you replied to, may be making an analogous argument here about distributed systems.

Any reference to this "holy grail" problem?
