OK. I don't really know all that much about it, I'm just an amateur not a coder.
It seems there are 2 different things: hacking the events by producing a new event with an existing event id, forcing the relay to have to decide which is the real one or "updating" its record of which one is authoritative, and explicitly saying "this is a new event (with a different event id) that references and obsoletes this other event" which is a protocol level thing that has to be explicitly coded
