It went nowhere. I think @fiatjaf and others believe kind1 should take an important role on the spec. I completely disagree. We focus way too much on kind 1 build ups. De-emphacizing from the spec could be a good move. NIP01 should focus on the web of trust aspects of kind 1, not on the small notes itself.

I'm not against the rework in theory, I just thought it looked bad to move things like that, but now I'm thinking it could be good to do it. But I thought you were a guy who talked only about what exists and not what should exist, given that you should be talking about the fact that kind:1 does have an important place in Nostr. In my article from before I just acknowledged that and said that instead of trying to fight against it we should embrace it and make kind:1 it the central discovery/public-square/stream of Nostr from where all other use cases can flow and take a life of their own. So if you're publishing pictures with Olas, for example, you could publish some just for people who are following you specifically in the photo apps, but sometimes quote some wrapped in a kind:1 so others can know that you also have this alternative photo stream, it's like when people posted a link on Twitter to their blog post or article written somewhere else or podcast etc.
Sure if you are tied to only the most used NIP, then it makes sense to keep kind 1 there. But if you are also seeing a lot of other applications being fully developed that don't even think about a kind1 post, that is evidence that there is more to it and that the kind 1focus is just getting in the way. I do think both are true: We are mostly focused on kind1s right now and also we have apps that kind 1 doesn't even make any sense.
