I'm sorry, I'm very likely still missing some important detail:
this sounds to me as if we have to choose here between the sender
distributing individual unshared credentials to every receiver (I
thought kauth would handle the messaging?), which means every receiver
gets its own copy, but those lack modifications done by previous
receivers - or if the receiver does the unsharing, its modifications
will get lost if we have multiple receivers.
Both options sound wrong to me, what did I misunderstand?
Thanks,
Martin
