Concluding "Input needed: Cancelling a permission request?"

My conclusion of this thread:

* application developers want this feature (and they have a preference 
for "cancel" mechanism over a timeout)
* however, introducing this should be coordinated with other groups, and 
will take time

Given that we are trying to move to Last Call soon, I think we should 
not let this block LC, but instead resolve this after Last Call.
