Re: [xhr] Abandon hope of removing sync XHR from the web platform? (#20)

There are several valid and useful patterns that require the use of synchronous XHR for which there is no alternative available. This proposal of deprecating synchronous XHR and the inclusion of a warning in developer console is an unnecessary scare tactic. Yes, I understand the warning is aimed at developers who don't know better with the presumably good intention to incite action aimed at improving the "general" user experience once a page is loaded, but to smack the hands of the capable and take away a powerful tool for which there is no alternative is not an acceptable solution.
