Re: [w3c/manifest] Remove beforeinstallprompt and appinstalled events. (#836)

I've read this whole thread. It is a hell lot of reading.
If there is one thing I've understood, it's that the way something is paved for a standard is wrong.

Taking and/or keeping in a standard a feature that is supported by a wide range of browsers is wrong.
Wide adoption should have absolutely no impact on what goes into a standard.

A widely implemented feature does not mean that the feature is good for feature the web, it just means it is good for the company developing the browser.

A feature that could be good for the future of the web could also nefariously be not implemented on purpose by one browser, since there are currently three browser engines in total (WebKit, Chromium, Gecko) - and could be blocking features for the standard. Democracy does not work when you have three voters.

The W3C need to have their own stance about a feature. Is the feature good for the web or not? If yes have it in the standard, if not remove it.
anybody who has affiliation with one of the companies developing the engines should not have a word in this.
