Things would have to graduate to caniuse as it exists now at least it is for things with w3c drafts and I think generally at least an experimental impl by some vendor. We are talking about fills for things of all levels of proposal maturity here where they can compete a bit.

Just thinking out loud here: I  guess this raises the question as to when a library becomes a prollyfill? Does it even matter?

Yeah, I'm also trying to get some clarity. I think we've started to identify and classify a few different types of applications and ways of doing these prollyfill things - which is great. It's feels like we are close to some kind of consensus.
