Replacing one centralized protocol with another (x.509) is not particularly useful.

The only mention of X.509 on the page is a sentence saying that the protocol does not use X.509. Certainly reading it in full I did not see any usage of X.509. So I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

Not to mention, X.509 is not centralized to begin with.
