Some people pointing out that the current state of Fetch API causes problems - it's not quite complete enough for real web apps that want to use it, but its presence breaks the detection that would substitute a polypill.

It is is way better shape in trunk. It really just missed the Safari Technology Preview build by a couple days. A fetch example I have now works in a trunk Safari build for example.

I think we can keep it enabled and have it be in the next Safari Technology Preview release. We do need to be careful with things like this in the future though.
