By "this" I mean "the API discussed in this thread" :) More specifically, I'm proposing to remove the persistentPermission() function in favor of using navigator.permissions.query({ name: "persistent-storage" }); > I filed an issue a while back > on that specification for trying to needlessly change terminology: > > https://github.com/w3c/permissions/issues/25 I'll comment there, but either way this seems like a bikeshed issue that's not enough to kill the permissions spec. > If you mean persistentPermission() by this, the reason that is there > is because we have done the same thing for other new APIs, such as the > Push API. In the past we didn't have the navigator.permissions API. Now we do. / Jonas
