But I'm open to discuss.
Fully agree! After reconsidering, now I think mid-2016 is too conservative. Since the first step is only about limiting new features, no websites will be broken due to this change. Developers and users don't *have to* do anything before that date. And we don't have to cooperate with other browsers in choosing this date, since different browsers already implement different set of features today. So how about starting with Firefox 41, which will be released on September 22, 2015? Actually, it's better to enter phase 1 as soon as possible. People generally don't complain too much if a feature is not supported from the beginning, but do complain if the feature is dropped after it is widely used. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
