Sorry, having a hard time finding it now. It was about the longer

On your other bullets, you're preaching to the choir. These are
exactly the considerations that led to the E promise design, now
adopted by JS.

Fair point.
Now that we've adopted such promises, we've paid the anti-transparency
costs of good distributed objects. This was quite intentional. Now

I think your use of "we" and past tense here are not shared as widely as
you'd like. Anything deployed on the public web yet?
