Re: [mediacapture-main] Bug in spec: circular dependency for enumerateDevices() (#709)

Forgive me for pressing the issue; if I may summarise:

The upsides of the change:

* a perceived "privacy enhancement" around capture indicators. But our discussion shows this change cannot be realised in practice.

The downsides:

* change in API behaviour affects existing code in the wild

* the new behaviour is unusual and not straightfoward (I am not the only person already asking for clarification)

* the new behaviour is not efficient (examples given require multiple device opens to workaround new behaviour)

Thank you for being patient with my questions. But I feel this is quite a robust case for the previous behaviour.
