By “started talking about it this month” I meant this specific advocation for removing it. Yes, it’s been talked about for years, but this time it’s specific.

> brian: we could do that on MDN too. This would be the first time we have something baseline widely available that we've marked as removed.
They were advocating for removing it. And it was specific. And is labelled by the Chromium report you mentioned as the cause.
It wasn't "this month".
Again, that’s prior discussion. It’s happened a few times over the last few years.
Then another few months pass, and one of the agitators goes about formally proposing removing it, so that finally it isn’t just murmurings more or less behind closed doors, but out in public for the developers to clamour about. That’s where we are this month.
Again, that prior discussion that you're dismissing as irrelevant - is the discussion the Chromium report links to! I don't think that can really get more definitive as cause and effect.
