See [Jonas' comment](https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/76#issuecomment-379140804). The issue about discoverable cases, so the timing difference between a status ok and a `network error` would be the same as between a status ok and a 'network cors wildcard error'. You can already see timing differences between non existent servers (DNS-related error) and non existent (or forbidden) URLs, even without the introduction of a new error.
Could you elaborate more on what will be the threat here?
