Re: [whatwg/dom] async disconnectedCallback? (#705)

This isn't possible, because disconnecting something from the DOM is a sync operation, and we can't change that. Tons of code in the world, both in JS and in browser C++, assumes that once you call el.remove(), on the very next line (with no awaiting) the element is disconnected.

Closing since this is not something we can change in the spec, but happy to continue explaining in the closed thread if necessary.
