Personally?  We accept regression.  The HTML5 change isn't new.
Framesets were discouraged as far back as HTML4 (which is why there
was a special DOCTYPE just for it, so they could restrict them from
the main Transitional and Strict DOCTYPEs).  There are very good
reasons for them being disallowed, which we've talked about before,
and very little reason to continue using them.  It is not worth the
time or effort of this group to attempt to do anything further with
them.
