Responding to say that I don't disagree. However, it really is getting
frustrating. It is also clouding our messaging, e.g. how can we say that
extensions are first class citizens when we obsolete on the one hand and
specify the feature on the other?

As mentioned, the extensions spec LC closes this coming Monday.

I believe we've got the testing well in hand.

We do need to establish the TF consensus on LC comments and make sure
that consensus is well documented for the record.

My sense is that the spec will be at least PR by TPAC, if not TR.
