Merge a PR only with explicit implementor consensus (followup)

Open saschanaz opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

See the discussion in https://github.com/w3c/clipboard-apis/pull/197#issuecomment-1841380176. It has Agenda+ but in a closed PR, so I'm opening a new issue to make things a bit more clear.

I strongly agree that we shouldn't make changes to the specification without agreement. Especially here where there was very clearly opposition. That doesn't make any sense.

Sorry for the confusion. Our intent was just to document browser behaviors so that all browsers can be spec-compliant, and not force a particular implementation. We discussed this and #206 issue in the EditingWG meeting and came to a consensus. Consensus was to incorporate the proposed changes to the spec, but with minor editorial and non-normative updates, which we will be making.

The WHATWG PR template separates "At least two implementers are interested (and none opposed):" from "Implementation bugs are filed:". Maybe something like that could help here?
