Re: W3C Polyfill service?

Late to this follow up, apologies.

Chaals: personally I think it would be awesome to bless one effort with a
mark of approval which will act to consolidate efforts and value in one
place. It doesn't have to be W3C though, and another option might be that
browser vendors come together to support the effort.

However, with the finding in place and polyfill.io now being essentially
the defacto solution for pulling polyfills, I see no reason to continue to
make efforts in that direction.
