Hello Webkit-dev,

I would like to ask for Webkit's official position on WritableStream
controller's AbortSignal API <
https://streams.spec.whatwg.org/#writablestreamdefaultcontroller-signal and
https://streams.spec.whatwg.org/#writablestreamdefaultcontroller-abortreason>
specification.

This feature permits an underlying sink to rapidly abort an ongoing write
or close when requested by the writer. An underlying sink which doesn't
observe the controller.signal will continue to have the existing behavior.
In addition to being exposed to streams authored in JavaScript, this
facility will also be used by platform-provided streams such as
WebTransport.

See spec change pull request: https://github.com/whatwg/streams/pull/1132

Thanks,
