I completely reject the idea of:

Dumb relay, smart client

Why would we want the more powerful hardware that is online all day to be dumb?

It has all the potential to do the computing people want and all day to do it

Instead we want clients to, in real time, digest all these notes and compute them, filter them etc?

Anyway I'm gonna keep making smarter relays

I think alot of the functionality we want in relays is better off as separate services. This isn't to say relays can't do anything clever, but the more we rely on relays to provide these services, the more centralization risk exists.

If you're concerned with centralization of one implementation. Strfry is running on most major relays. This is why we want more.
