> The dev-leads of the different javascript engines should not just be able to veto. They should be able to veto people out of the room, out of the debate. And we should celebrate it every time they take advantage of that power. Or just give up on Javscript all together and just let the rot fester.

this would ironically tend to be applied to people like you

No irony :) I don't think i should be in that room. I know enough to know how little i know. I also know enough to recognize a naive short sighted proposal such as 'cancellable promises'.

That doesn't mean it should be me dismissing that feature. But i am very much smiling that the people that should be in that room, did dismiss it.
