Re: [vibration] Update implementation report (#33)

> About the implementation experience:

Right, but one still needs to check if QQ actually vibrates, and that should be weighed against all the other feedback given of why other implementations pulled support (i.e., the wide review). 

As the questions from the Process I highlighted in https://github.com/w3c/vibration/issues/33#issuecomment-2144126988 note, it's not just about how widely deployed it is, but if the W3C should be "Recommending" something that numerous industry players have deemed harmful (i.e., the "are there reports of difficulties or problems with implementation?"). 

> By DAS WG convention, we list in this section specifications that have reached the Recommendation maturity stage and [revising a Recommendation](https://www.w3.org/2023/Process-20231103/#revising-rec) defined by the W3C Process applies to these deliverables.

Right, but did you actually read the section? 

Unlike Geolocation, for instance, the Vibration spec **CANNOT** receive candidate connections or candidate additions. This is because it was never "explicitly identified as [allowing new features](https://www.w3.org/2023/Process-20231103/#allow-new-features) using [candidate additions](https://www.w3.org/2023/Process-20231103/#candidate-addition)."

Thus, you can only make "Markup Changes" or "Editorial Changes". 

> What comes to the strength control feature https://github.com/w3c/vibration/issues/17, I'd like to note there are open-source projects in this space, e.g. [Haptic Vibration Pattern Generator](https://jmattthew.github.io/vibration-generator/vibration.html) that generates complex haptic vibrations via navigator.vibrate(). I updated that issue with a pointer for consideration.

Although fascinating, I'm not sure why that matters? We are discussing what the Working Group can and cannot do. 

The objection is still that further development of haptics are **not in scope of the working group**, because they are not listed as such.
