 Federation maintains shared state between multiple home servers, such that when
 an event is sent to a room, the home server knows where to forward the event on
-to, and how to process the event. Home servers do not need to have completely
-shared state in order to participate in a room. State is scoped to a single
-room, and federation ensures that all home servers have the information they
-need, even if that means the home server has to request more information from
-another home server before processing the event.
