I think it's nice to remove that obstacle from in front of plugin developers who want to use promises. If we're going to suggest that people drop the polyfill in themselves, I don't see the harm in just having it there, especially if we don't mandate its use.
Going forward, many/most APIs will use promises; it might get a little unwieldy to have a whole bunch of plugins depend on a promise plugin. The bottom line, for me, is that this doesn't force anyone to use promises; it's just easy and there for those who want it.
