State of Farcaster developer lego decentralization

1. Nearly all public data on the protocol is decentralized today
2. Exception is channel metadata
3. Two centralized parts of the protocol that are changing soon are

a. Sign in with Farcaster -> Farcaster Connect
b. Direct Casts

See following casts for FIPs.

Out of curiosity: why continue a separate messaging protocol versus incorporation of something like XMTP into the Warpcast app? Is it a case of not having to bridge identity management between two protocols in the same app?
