Re: [csswg-drafts] Versioning policy and backwards incompatible changes (#5114)

> For unmaintaned specs, like CSS1, we mark the specs as obsolete and define that level as being, essentially, the set of features defined therein as defined by the higher level maintained specs.

What's the disadvantage of doing this for all levels/modules? I am very much in favour of maintaining less spec text, even if it is generally not too much work (and it's more than just editorial work when we need to republish).

> Yeah, that's some really funky text. It doesn't match the reality of how the WG treats its specs (or how any of the consumers of the specs - browsers, authors, etc - treat them). It should be fixed.

it does sound like you and @fantasai disagree here? Like, her view seems to be that the levels are meaningful?
