Re: [whatwg/dom] Proposal: New method to reorder child nodes (#891)

> Please go read the past discussion in this issue as well as [whatwg/html#5484](https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/5484) before making any suggestions ... It's really counterproductive to keep repeating the same discussion every 2-3 years.

I have gone down the rabbit-hole around this issue and I think that an atomic DOM child node move operation would be extremely valuable. Completely ignoring any convenience functions on top - and even going as far as excepting certain tricky cases in order to get this ball rolling - it would still be worth pursuing.

Given that we know this type of operation is highly sought after in libraries like React (to name one), and we know that it would greatly improve web performance in many resource-intensive cases, how do we move forward?
