I'd vote for B. Firefox never implemented it, and no-one has asked us for it.

Agree. I think it's a web compat issue at this point: if implemented literally, any application already using `{frameRate: {min: 60}}` today and ***not*** listening to the `overconstrained` event, would suddenly have its track muted in low light.

I claim no-one wants that. If the expectation is the application *immediately* corrects the overconstrained situation, then nothing seems lost by leaving the track unmuted. So 👍 for A.1.
