OK. That stance makes sense given recent discussion about how
conflicts should be stored during update/merge, and then processed
later in a separate step.

In Ev1, we keep trying to make important decisions about conflicts
while the edit is in progress. And that is not working out well at all.

Instead, we'll need to design conflict storage such that it can store
all information streaming in via the editor for later processing when
a delete vs. delete conflict is detected. The conflict resolver will
then need some way to request any additional information it needs in
order to make smart decisions.

So, agreed. I'm happy with leaving Ev2 out of this business.
