Are there any clients (or relays) that use negentropy to fetch events more efficiently from strfry relays? How annoying is it to detect support or fall back to regular REQs?

I don't know of any, but this looks awesome.
How long has strfry supported this?
A long, long time. December maybe? I don't know if there's anything in the NIP 11 document, that's sort of what I was asking
also do you know if there is any field in the NIP-11 json document that would let a client know that the relay supports this?
Relays do it all the time with the sync command.. I think blowater is playing with the js implementation, there was some work recently done on it.
