reconbot I think there's a few underlying problems that make it complicated, the first is that there were metrics that said it wasn't in heavy use but the metrics seem like they were prob wrong: slightlylate/1423051145140871175Permalink On twitter.com

reconbot I think there was a failure of proactive messaging that would have greatly helped, but is a problem that almost every part of the web platform has. pwnallthethings/1423068975940919300Permalink On twitter.com

reconbot The initial plan is (as I understand) just to remove cross-origin alerts, and I think that's a legit initial step that creates good responses and addresses security concerns AND creates an opportunity for more responses and feedback on the broader project that can steer it.On twitter.com

reconbot And finally, I do think, just *security* and not also performance is a reasonable reason to depreciate something. I don't know how commonly alert is used (and it's clear that no one does) but I think it can very reasonably be replaced by devs...Permalink On twitter.com

reconbot I think web specifications are living documents & they will change. A web application requires development & updates like anything else. I think there was a trend at one point to really try and freeze particular features, but safety is the best argument to unfreeze them imo.Permalink On twitter.com
