Re: [whatwg/fetch] Does Client Hints have multi vendor support? (#867)

Looks like it was added in this commit on March 22, 2016: https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/commit/404dc3acfddb5e9870fdee333302f80ecff661dd

Working Mode was first explicitly made a separate document in April 25th, 2017. So it seems you are correct about timing.

It's not clear to me whether the policy is supposed to apply retroactively or if so in what cases. However, there have been subsequent updates, the most recent in 2018, still without a showing of multi-implementor support.

If the current language does not have multi-implementor support, and also does not match what the one existing implementation does, perhaps it should be removed in the meantime?

I leave it to the editor's discretion to determine the best course of action here.
