I'm currently looking into using CRDTs for a side project, and would love to pick your brain:

CRDTs don't solve the semantic issue of a conflict, but nothing ever will, because the semantics are defined by business requirements, right?

Isn't the idea behind CRDTs to develop a set of "primitives" upon which one can build conflict free data structures?

And isn't all the hype about CRDTs a result of the fact that providing those primitives in a serverless way (ie, without requiring a central authority) was a hitherto unsolved problem?
