Adrian:

My concern is that the discussions taking place at WICG currently are tapering
off, and in general, appear to be favoring a migration towards the WG (WHATWG
for the HTML bits, and WebApps for the File API bits). It seems to me that
technical discussions might be more robust there, but I'd like you to weigh in
on that matter also.

Mozilla's plans include an implementation of the feature. 

Would formally filling out the intent to migrate doc help move things over? Can
I encourage you to contribute some of your metrics, at least based on the
Chrome-emulation that you announced you would do on the listserv? That appears
give us "first guess" metrics for usage according to the Data clause of the
"intent to migrate" template. Also, I'm happy to work on the "intent to
migrate" portion of things, if that helps move things over.
