Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Question: Review manifest-first Web Install API (Issue #1245)

marcoscaceres left a comment (w3ctag/design-reviews#1245)

Right, but this is fundamentally about architecture: does this capability belong in web pages **at all** is the core question. There’s fundamental disagreement on that amongst implementers precisely because of what “installing” an app means and to whom; plus the implications that has on the capabilities afforded to the web application (e.g., longer lived storage, push notifications, badging, etc.). 

Adding install capability shifts how developers funnel users into their apps, which changes how apps are designed. 

My feeling is that we need a TAG finding to settle this matter, as we’ve gone around in circles on this for 13+ years.
