why does Babel include function bind syntax?! http://babeljs.io/blog/2015/05/14/function-bind/ … is babel going to bring in every newly proposed ES7 feature?

@mattdesl these should be plugins, not core... :\ If babel continues, in a couple years it will have a *ton* of junk baggage to maintain

@mattdesl Stop spreading FUD please. Plugins don't support custom syntax so it has to be in core.

@sebmck why do new experimental proposals *have* to be added to core in the first place? Sorry it comes off as FUD, just voicing my thoughts

@mattdesl It provides critical feedback to proposal authors. Why would you want something in JavaScript that has not been thoroughly tested?

@sebmck at a certain point the language changes are so drastic I wonder why we continue to call it "JavaScript" e.g. https://github.com/jussi-kalliokoski/trine/blob/fba0df3adcea8f58bd65e6efd37aedd6d6917403/src/iterable/convolve.js#L20-L31 …
