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

People use javascript for things other than public-facing websites.
Breaking "user space" (so to speak) is a big deal.  If there is some
security issue at stake here, I would understand, but no one has raised one
in this discussion.  If the reason for removing it is "I think you should
have used async there buddy!", that is a crap reason to break user space.
