I’m hoping to get back to everyone as soon as possible. I hope you can all appreciate that I’m a human being and this has been a lot!
In the mean time, I wanted to repost my last comment on the GitHub issue thread [1]:
Hey all, we plan to respond to your feedback but I want to be thorough which will take time and it’s the end of a Friday for me. We wanted to give a quick TL;DR:
- This is an early proposal that is subject to change based on feedback.
- The primary goal is to combat user tracking by giving websites a way to maintain anti-abuse protections for their sites without resorting to invasive fingerprinting.
- It’s also an explicit goal to ensure that user agents can browse the web without this proposal [2]
- The proposal doesn’t involve detecting or blocking extensions, so ad-blockers and accessibility tools are out of scope.
- This is not DRM - WEI does not lock down content
- I’m giving everyone a heads up that I’m limiting comments to contributors over the weekend so that I can try to take a breath away from GitHub. I will reopen them after the weekend

I suspect you didn’t just forget. It would look good to at least explain why you’re not following through on this, as it’s now Thursday in parts of the world.
