FredTheDino has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg: == Discard "discard" elements == The ["discard" element](https://svgwg.org/specs/animations/#DiscardElement) only makes the implementation harder for browser developers and adds very little value. It should thus be discarded. From experience with other SMIL developers I've talked to, it's unanimous that Discard element was a bad idea due to the unnecessary complications it adds in the code. Removing it allows the Chromium team to remove a significant part of unused code and make the animating faster and lighter. I've added a UseCounter in Chromium so we'll soon have actual data on how used it is, but that might be some time of.
