Re: [whatwg/fetch] Add option to reject the fetch promise automatically after a certain time elapsed (with no API for arbitrary aborts) (#179) from Anne van Kesteren on 2019-01-02 (public-webapps-github@w3.org from January 2019)

To be clear, I was not trying to dismiss the ergonomics perspective. Mostly making sure I understood the technical requirements. I think I'm supportive of adding this as a shorthand for calling https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#abort-fetch. I'd suggest we call it `timeout` for continuity with XMLHttpRequest (we also reuse `status`, `statusText`, and such).

The main thing we lack is active implementer interest and folks to make all necessary changes (PR Fetch, PR WPT).
