Some CRDTs support garbage collection directly - if you run them in a causally consistent environment. Antidote is causally consistent and has a Set and Map implementation that work like this; for these CRDTs you don't need a global sync.

Thanks for the reply. Don't you negate some of the advantages of CRDTs by mandating casually consistent environments? Can you speak to that more?
