Doing the work here is epic. Even if Apple&#x27;s legal domination of the situation stays in-force, having the technical potential there &amp; making it available &amp; finding whay the performance wins to brag about are- it shifts the Overton window of Apple&#x27;s dominion.<p>Hugely worthwhile effort, whatever ends up happening. Having a buildable target individual devs can go build, try, run themselves: it shifts this from a hypothetical to a lawyer based constraint. Maybe it goes terribly &amp; Apple&#x27;s defense has been right all along, but I tend to think the availability of real information on how this would work in practice is not going to back up or do well for Apple&#x27;s overarching aggressive &quot;defense&quot; by lawyers that they have maintained.<p>This shifts us into a real mode, beyond lawyerspeak. Good stuff.
