Ok, this will sound a little crazy, but if I'm managing my keys, what would happen if I turned my browser into my PDS? Like, I only use my PDS when im logged in, everything else gets mirrored by relays ... What would happen if my PDS was running locally as my browser?

I made a decision on this: I'm going to keep using did:plc. There are many technical pros/cons, but I'm going to take a bet on people and use this product as the people designing it are using it too. Here is to changing ones mind!

Since I don’t have time to dig into this yet, question: if I build a service that relies on this (say, @squire.quest) what happens to users with a PDS that doesn’t support this implantation yet. What’s the planned experience?
