Evidently the dichotomy between (a) supporting Googlers in their efforts to ratfuck the reliability of the wider Web by breaking decades-stable browser tech that's longer fashionable, and(b) expressing one's undying love for XML et adjacent alia... are the only positions available to a person; you can't take the position that XSLT is ungood *and* think the ADD devs willing to break the Web like it's the Android SDK should give up their jobs/paychecks.<https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/deprecating-xslt>cc @jwz ?

@alcinnz it's an error to waste any time or energy trying to engage on an intellectual level with any of their stated reasons/motivation (esp. under a mistaken belief that there may be some solution that can address those concerns).The stated reasons are bullshit. We are not dealing with reliable narrators.They simply do not give a shit about holding up their end of the bargain as stewards of a major browser engine or fulfilling the promise of Web standards.That's it. That's the reason.

(@alcinnz refer for example to `@drott`'s non-sequitur of a "response" to my earlier comment:<https://typo.social/@drott/115497866657205286>)
