Re: [w3c/manifest] BREAKING CHANGE: remove beforeinstallprompt event (#836)

Edge is an interesting case here, and I'd love for Microsoft folks (@aarongustafson) to weigh in here and make sure my understanding is correct.

Edge has a separate downstream repository that is kept up to date with Chromium, but my understanding is that Edge will ship features from the web platform layer upwards that Chromium does not have (where we diverge in opinions or the ability to accept implementations in Chromium at the time Microsoft implements them). Similarly, Edge would disable features that Chromium introduces for similar reasons, or adjust the implementation to suit their views. 

Even if the actual code implementing the feature is shared inside Blink from Chromium, it still seems like Edge is making conscious choices about the web platform it chooses to ship, and not simply replicating what Chromium is doing. It seems a little harsh to say that they aren't independent when they do actually exhibit control and opinion down to the web platform layer.
