      Would it result in changes to how you do things, so that web developers are spared further episodes like this one?

      Serious question: Why would this change “break the web” ? Constructable stylesheets are behind a flag, since they’re non-standard, right? Why can’t they be changed at this point? There’s never an expectation of stability when stuff is behind a flag, right?

      They're shipped to stable Chrome (and many Chromium embedders enable them too).

      As the person who runs standards for Chrome, can you please explain how the fuck a non-standard feature got shipped to Stable Chrome?

      We often lead, balancing risk/reward rather than demanding a particular point in an arbitrary process. https://www.chromium.org/blink/launching-features … Leadership is rather the point of having an engine team, after all.

      Given that chrome has a near monopoly don't you think you should maybe not ship something as stable before other browsers have it to not reinforce the monopoly?

      FWIW this is how the web has ALWAYS evolved. Almost all APIs we use today we're shipped in the dominant engine prior to a standard being ratified (IE, Netscape, WebKit, now chromium). JavaScript language is a notable and impressive counter-example.

      It isn't, tho. NN 2 unilaterally added livescript. MSFT copied and forced standardisation at ECMA. Same as it ever was.

      Surely Rick meant modern JS, ie ES6 and beyond, when he noted how impressive the JS standardization was? I've sadly not been in web dev long enough (originally a boring, corporate .net dev) to even know what you're referring to -- LiveScript? Did you just make that up? ;)

      Modern JS evolution has been a disaster -- and I say that as someone who has pushed the boulder up the hill as much as anyone. We introduced the stages model after some of the worst, but still not on productive footing.

      There are structural changes the committee can make that would help, and I'm optimistic about group's appetite to replicate some well-functioning approaches (e.g. i18n subgroup).
