This sounds like a semantic quibble to me. Okay, maybe the main problem is not in copying but in "installing", but wouldn't mind copying effectively make "installation" much easier, as well?

It wasn't intended as a semantic quibble - the idea was more to say: is there really a "major breakthrough" here? If so, what does it consist of? I was arguing against it being "high fidelity value sharing".

Mind copying would indeed bypass the "installation" issue.
