Thus de facto staying forever. Object.prototype.watch seem to have been a fun experiment that wasn't suppose to remain forever. Oops [1] :-) > In fact, Brendan Eich frequently mentions how > those ES6 prototypes are experimental and will change. Remember when CSS prefixes were supposed to be experimental and people were supposed to not use in it production? Neither Brendan Eich, nor web browsers, nor standards decide what remains forever. Content does. Not all people writing web content listen to Brendan Eich or even cares about what he says anyway. "I don't understand this thread." => I was trying to understand if the feature was necessary for web compat. It is not. I'll ask for the feature to be hidden from the release channel until the spec is clarified. Just trying to prevent de facto standards ahead of time and do things in order. Thanks for your clarifications, David [1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=903332#c21
