Re: [fetch] Aborting a fetch (#27)

Hi Jake,

I hope you don't feel embattled here. :-(  I really appreciate your efforts to improve the status quo of network APIs on the web. You are also clearly trying to leverage the tools available to you in the web platform, whether they be the browser or language (async/await).

I think that valid concerns have been brought up about each and every one of the cancellation proposals on the table. Given the issues called out in this thread, it shouldn't be surprising that cancelable promises are nowhere near a reality. Other than a little discussion, the specification repo hasn't really seen much activity over the last two years.

Do you favor any of the proposals currently under consideration? 

JH
