What would be gained by
moving the property alone to Annex B? If nothing, then I think this
consistency should win.
JavaScript implementations in new or existing eco systems that are not
poisoned by web legacy wouldn't be obliged to support it. It's the
difference between acknowledging web reality and forcing web reality
on everybody.
What are you saying? V8 releases versions where annoying and ugly de facto
standards are out so that software built on top of Node.js, MongoDB and
other embedders only use a cleaner JS? Awesome! ;-)
That would be an option -- I'd very much like to move some of these
things behind a flag.
But not __proto__ -- dream on if you think that is going away any time soon!
I see two problems:
1. Dumping stuff into Annex B to show disdain. This is pride, bad for
the soul.
2. More important: people port code from the web. In what future
super-web will we start fresh?
Let's do right by implementations and users, and not pretend mandatory
stuff is optional. Let's not try to polish a turd, and actively be
prideful about the result -- especially if our officially better
polished form is as verbose as Object.setPrototypeOf or Object.create in
practice.
