Re: What would you like to see in WebRTC next? A low-level API?

This doesn't match my perception of discuss-webrtc, stackoverflow or a 
bunch of github repositories. Nor what I saw here:

Am I missing a place where I can learn about issues before they hit me?

Some of us have to support four browsers :-p
So, without ORTC support in Firefox I would probably have applied the 
same shim as in Edge.

For the same reason I shimmed addTrack for Chrome in adapter. The 
alternative would have been to either not use addTrack which would 
probably have resulted in lots of stuff breaking (cf how much effort it 
took to get the interactions between addTrack and legacy 
getLocalStreams() etc right) or to sprinkle "if (isChrome) useAddStream 
else useAddTrack" in even more places.
