ES6 was a huge release that was largely unimplemented when it was completed in 2015. The biggest ES6 feature, modules, is still being actively added to web browsers and Node. After ES6, we switched to a staging process where features have to ship before they are standardized.https://twitter.com/awbjs/status/971785812382646272 …

If things ship before standardization, won’t you have people building on top of wip features and then crying foul if they change in the standard? Wouldn’t it be better for them to be implemented but only available in beta builds (vs. “shipped” to everybody)?

Stage 3 is "we're pretty sure we're done, modulo any urgent concerns that come up during implementation". The impls happen behind a flag, and get unflagged once engines are ready to advance to stage 4 (and freeze).

There's a bit of a dance at the final stretch that we're still getting used to, but in broad strokes it works.
