Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color-4] What if legacy colors *also* interpolated in Oklab by default? (#7948)

I still think this is a bad idea.
Please reconsider this change.

The benefits and downsides haven't been weighted properly in my opinion.

It has only been demonstrated that `oklab` is a better interpolation color space.
It hasn't been demonstrated that changing this would be a good thing.

Reasons not to do this :
- what if a future color space is even better than `oklab`? do we change to that? If so, why should users ever write a gradient without an explicit interpolation color space. They would opt-in to future breakage by omitting the color space.
- authors already have plenty of tools to reduce typing and make it easier to always opt-in to a specific interpolation color space. We don't need to make a breaking change to help authors.
- this change is known to affect existing pages, please be more careful with backwards compat.
