Some questions to ponder for posterity:

There's so many questions to still answer before the format can be even semi-stabilized: How should developers define CPTs, Taxonomies, patterns, custom fields? How should they ship custom content? Are Patterns the same as Content? If yes, should we extend the WXR format to support all of the above? And if not, how should they be bundled with Blueprints? Should Blueprints be JSON or should they be merged into WXR? Where's the line between Blueprints, feature plugins, and WordPress core? Can you extend Blueprints using WordPress plugins? Are Blueprints the same as snapshots? Or do they merely act on a snapshot? Should they also act on live WordPress sites? How do you redirect to a post created by a Blueprint? And should AI generate Blueprints or Snapshots?
