— part of check-in
[855578b610]
on branch fossil-as-blockchain
— Recast the blockchain.md doc as "Is Fossil a Blockchain?" (answer:
mostly no) and updated all references to it to either remove the term,
use "repository" instead where that's sufficiently clear, or to say
either "Merkle tree" or "hash tree" instead where we need to distinguish
the hash tree itself from the rest of the repo DB file's contents. This
depends on the prior CAP theorem doc, since part of the argument for
Fossil not being a blockchain gets us down into those weeds.
EDIT: Moving it to a branch because we're still arguing the point on the forum.

— part of check-in
[1ddb400886]
on branch trunk
— Greatly expanded the simple definition of "blockchain" in the eponymous
doc to include more details of common blockchain implementations to draw
clearer parallels. This causes our conclusion to flip around from the
prior version of this doc, but it's worth keeping the doc because it
serves to compare and contrast Fossil to other systems.
