Now, I recognize you were around for those parts of it through about Aug 2016, but there seems to be a fundamental disconnect here between /what the spec says/ and /what is being done in reality/.
Between _what guides are telling me I can do_ and _what I need to do in order to effectively interoperate with what is out there_.
I only barely care about the former, I _do_ care about the latter, and what we have now is a weird mishmash that just confuses everyone
