There had been some [earlier discussions as to where these types of explainers should go](https://github.com/whatwg/fs/pull/46#issuecomment-1230531707) but that thread was never resolved... I can attempt to merge them into whatwg/fs and cite this as justification :) Following up on this - see https://github.com/whatwg/fs/pull/108 In that PR I mention "the anti-pattern of putting the useful text only in the explainers and not in the spec text itself". Unfortunately this feature is currently in a worse state than even that, since the spec PR for this feature (https://github.com/whatwg/fs/pull/10) has yet to land at all. For months, specifying `move()` (among many other things) was blocked on answering the fundamental question posed in https://github.com/whatwg/fs/issues/59 of what exactly _is_ a `FileSystemHandle` Fortunately, this was just recently resolved in https://github.com/whatwg/fs/pull/96. There's now only one structural blocker to getting the `move()` method specified, which I hope will be merged soon: https://github.com/whatwg/fs/pull/95 In the meantime, I'll be updating https://github.com/whatwg/fs/pull/10 to include more information about the restrictions discussed in the hopefully-soon-to-be-merged _explainers/MovingNonOpfsFiles.md_ Apologies for the chaos! The `move()` method has a complicated history (it's been [shipped in Chromium browsers](https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/OR0poFdzEpo/) for only _files in the OPFS_ for about a year now) that I'm still working to make right.
