I’d prefer not to provide experimental features on the release channel. I deliberately didn't try to propose a prefix-related policy for experimental features on non-release channels. I expect that if we adopt the policy of not shipping experimental features on the release channel, prefixing on non-release channels will stop without a policy as developers start optimizing for not having to change test cases in the case where an experimental API doesn't end up changing. -- Henri Sivonen hsivo...@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/ _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
