@ms2ger Are there browser issues filed for this already?

[Ms2ger]

Not yet; I'll do that on Monday.

[bzbarsky]

@ms2ger filed some browser bugs:

• Gecko: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1578173
• WebKit: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201397

I don't see a Blink issue, but not sure whether that's because I'm just not finding it in their bug tracker.

[foolip]

Filed https://github.com/tabatkins/bikeshed/issues/1519 about another Bikeshed issue that needs to be resolved before rolling this out to lots of specs.

[marcoscaceres]

Just reflecting on the last few weeks... I think in the future, we should make sure ReSpec, BikeShed, WebIDL2.js, and Peter's IDL parser are first updated/fully tested before exported definitions are yanked out of the WebIDL spec and we file spec bugs.

The last few weeks saw a lot of significant breakage across the ecosystem, leaving Editors confused about error messages they couldn't fix. It meant a lot of us having to shift work/weekend priorities to deal with the fallout. Also, some folks were on vacation, etc. so things couldn't be fixed in a timely manner.

The above is not a rebuke or criticism as we are still learning how to best deal with these kinds of changes - but something to keep in mind in the future to make these kinds of changes easier to manage for all of us.

I've spot-checked ~10 specs on this list and they are all updated. Let's close this out.
