Hi Jonathan, In doing bug triage, I'm randomly coming across multiple <https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1511237> web developers <https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1501568> confused by this behavior. Do we need a blog post perhaps to help raise awareness and provide a better announcement to the community than a blink-dev thread?
