Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] User-Agent Client Hints & UA Reduction (#640)

Heya @hober!

Yeah, sorry. It probably would have been useful for me to do so as I filed this 🙈 . The most substantial changes can be summed up as:

* A more fleshed out spec exists for User-Agent Client Hints
* The original "UA Freezing" ideas proposed that all non-mobile browsers should report as Windows 10 devices. We've since changed our thinking on this, for reasons articulated in the [blink-dev intent to prototype & ship thread](https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/dafizBGwWMw/m/e_80IOGPAAAJ). Instead, our current thinking is to keep the platform exposed in the User-Agent string, for compatibility and accessibility reasons (sadly many sites rely on sniffing for platform to handle keyboard shortcut differences between OSes).
