Just like with other features, landing code for a new feature requires an Intent to Prototype before doing so, and likewise an Intent to Experiment or Intent to Ship is needed before an origin trial or shipping. What's unclear to me is whether there's also supposed to be a minimum > amount of time/milestones between an Intent to Prototype and an Intent > to Ship in this case, and also what the difference between an I2P and an > I2S would be here, as there doesn't seem to be a way to gate new > ChromeDriver endpoints and commands behind a flag. > If that's true it needs to be fixed. Flag-guarding features is a critically necessary aspect of development best practices for Chromium features, to allow them the time to be implemented incrementally, and also to be turned off if new features cause regressions in the wild. @Mathias Bynens <[email protected]>, could you advise on how to add runtime flags for WebDriver?
