So the "Google Docs for WordPress" pitch…

- The feature is for sites using the block editor

- AND having two or more editing a page/post at the same time

—- How many sites can this be? Why are so many forced to take on code (read: sec and bugs) that they’ll never ever need?

having shared credential management is better than every plugin rolling its own. No argument there.

- Is this ideal? Certainly it’s convenient. Can’t WP offer an API so plugins and themes can roll what they need without centralizing cred mgmt?

and the genuine ownership of content and infrastructure

- In theory this is great. The reality is, with the Block editor you own your content tightly coupled to WP’s presentation tags (for blocks).

Sidebar: With LLMs, it seems that Blocks solves a problem that no longer exists. A plugin that integrates an AI editor into ClassicPress would be interesting.
