I don't think I should claim to speak for Gecko anymore, but that comment of mine was not neutral. We keep adding mutable policies (and I include one-off no policy -> policy transitions in this) on the basis that it makes sense to those pushing for those policies and the people they happen to talk to, but it doesn't make sense from a slightly broader perspective. It builds on brittle infrastructure and fundamentally can result in hard to diagnose bugs. Yes, declaring policies via HTTP might hurt adoption short term, but overcoming that hurdle is what we should focus on. Instead, we keep having this debate for each new policy as nobody is willing to own the actual problem. (There's a very similar problem with getting features to be restricted to secure contexts. Each feature advocate is always convinced their feature shouldn't be and will then go on to enumerate the problems requiring secure contexts might cause them...) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "blink-dev" group.
