Incubation status #25

Open marcoscaceres opened 1 year ago

marcoscaceres commented 1 year ago

Hi @eeeps! Just checking for status on this incubation as it looks kinda dormant (not much activity for a few years).

Is this something you want to continue to pursue or should we archive this?

yoavweiss commented 1 year ago

This is not something we should archive, but instead, we should clearly mark it as "shipped in a single implementation" (or something along those lines).

eeeps commented 1 year ago

Apologies for the late response. Basically, what @yoavweiss said. This spec may be Dormant, but it isn't dead!

There are some important open issues (#19, #4, and #24 are the highest on my list) but without feedback from implementers (both UAs, and other folks running servers/CDNs), I have abstained from bikeshedding my own answers, disconnected from any kind of consensus.

IMO this spec is valuable to mark as not dead because it:

  1. documents what Blink does
  2. explains/frames the importance of the features
  3. is a place for interested parties to raise questions and provide feedback.

That all feels valuable, and if/when another browser implements Client Hints Infrastructure (which has been very active), I hope to advocate for this spec more actively.

Open to any thoughts and I'll be keeping an eye on https://github.com/WICG/admin/issues/138.

Yes, agreed. Simply because responsive images is not fully solved yet, this proposal has value in providing a potential solution.

nhoizey commented 1 year ago

I also agree that this proposal is really useful, and I'd like to see other browsers implement it.
