Couldn't expect a better answer, thanks a lot. If I might ask my last question: who makes the decision of "what ships where"?
As example, how comes Safari is shipping customElements but latest WebKitGTK+ doesn't even have them behind a flag? Any specific procedure to speedup shipping features like that? Thanks again and Best Regards.
