I’m old enough to vaguely remember idle thought leaders complaining that abortable fetch violated some theoretical fundamental design aspect inherent to Promises. Or some such thing.
Anyway fetch is cancellable now!

Replying to @AdamRackis
We studied the various patterns in use back in '13 and got to the exact same place as abortable fetch. A stain on TC39 that it had to be done in DOM to make progress.

Replying to @slightlylate @AdamRackis
BTW, our original promises proposal in '13 had a form of cancellation (which was actually our second try; previous attempt in '11). Dropped to make political progress on core contract. *Sigh*
