Re: [whatwg/xhr] Abandon hope of removing sync XHR from the web platform? (#20)

@foolip Thanks for your reply. It could be changed with a new SCORM standard and adapting any existing content and LMS's (like Moodle) to it. This is not likely.
Therefore, removing sync XHR would cause huge problems for a large part of the e-learning industry based on SCORM and its developers, who **know why they use sync XHR**. No user feels offended by a loading animation that takes a second.

This discussion feels more like demonizing an unloved technology (disliking supportive comments...?). There are indeed applications in which it is justified and its shutdown after years of availability (without an equal alternative) cannot be the solution.

If the hint in the dev console is not just an educational measure for careless developers, official dates about when sync XHR will really be removed would be helpful.
