The interesting thing about this whole NIP-37 (editable notes) saga is it's only a draft. it isn't officially part of the protocol yet. Yet it is fully implemented by the author in his client according to his specification. Despite there being competing specs for the same NIP in the works from the Coracle dev (links are on the bottom)
From the discussion I read, it looks like most of the contributors like the Coracles better than the one implemented by Amethyst.
So what now?
In fairness, it will be optional. Clients don't have to implement it.

quoting note1a8m…7tv7A protocol is inherently a monopoly.
But our protocol consists primarily of unilateral changes in apps. So, if one app has a large enough userbase, they can just change the protocol on their own, by changing their code and breaking everyone's main feed.
