We don’t want to ship half-baked or low quality features in releases of WebKit because they can cause long term problems for people supporting content that has to work on multiple versions of WebKit.

Sorry, but I honestly don't see the point of this discussion anymore,
in terms that all the implementations are getting proper layout tests
(property usage, repaint, getComputedStyle, etc) and pending review.
The compile flag (now accepted by all) is being addresed in
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93863 and thus won't make the
feature exposed to web by default. As Ryosuke mentioned, layout tests
aren't enough for properly testing editing features, so please point
me to where I can actually stress test it to get confidence about the
code.

Best,
