(unless that PR can land in W3C Manifest)Rather than creating a separate WICG repo for each of these (given that there are often interdependencies between them), we are creating a "manifest-incubations" spec with all of them in a single document. That means readers only need to keep track of two documents, instead of ~10.
Other related incubations that do have their own WICG repos:
Despite this, it may make sense for their spec text to live inside manifest-incubations
since they may have dependencies on other things here (e.g., display_override
).
