What would be different between <input type="country"> and <select>?
I presume he's thinking of an input with a browser-supplied list of

Could you point to that discussion in the archive?
See e.g.

followups (this isn't the first post in the thread but the thread title seems to
have changed or something so I didn't find the very start - I think it's good
enough though)
