Well, if XMLHttpRequest is not layered on Fetch, you'd lose out on
Service Workers, to name something substantial. Clarifications and
changes to CORS you miss out on. Header handling improvements, etc. It
seems your IDL is quite broken too.

FWIW, since as you say XMLHttpRequest is now a thin API wrapper around
Fetch, as it should be, I'll likely just add it to Fetch at some point
so people don't have to press the back button all the time.
