There are two problems with this.

1) It doesn't really match the commitment we made to only replace SCs with stronger requirements... very inexact wording

2) Dropping content requirements based on UA behavior seems a little hasty.

I think changes that dropping SCs is for the big overhaul, when we can address UAs as well.

I don’t think we should/can remove or deprioritize anything for SC 2.1.  IMO all SC still have some relevance.

Are there any SCs that have been overcome sufficiently by the environment, OS, User Agents etc. that we can remove them without breaking the acceptance requirement of WCAG 2.1 that meeting it also meets 2.0?

I think this question has merit, and is related to the question of what SCs are showing their age, and/or are things that are just not substantial fails (or may not represent significant a11y issues any more).

 

Thanks
