I wouldn't be surprised if some of the work and rigour being invested in OTs and CRDTs, and multi-user collaborative editing in general leads to some breakthrough improvements in the source control space too.

Aren't CRDTs the logical conclusion of automatic merging? I feel like with source control you want to be more intentional about what gets merged, right? Maybe CRDT can be good for trunk-based development with a merge queue. Definitely has a spot in pair programming.
