--- Comment #7 from mdrejhon <mark at blurbusters.com> ---
I should also add, I understand requestAnimationFrame was never originally intended to be the primary VSYNC method.

However, ALL methods that syncs to VSYNC (whether be scrolling, or WebGL, or requestAnimationFrame), needs to be high-Hz compatible -- 

The existing politics on excluding requestAnimationFrame needs to be re-evaluated on the mainstream basis -- 

The widespread logical mutual agreement to "everything we did in the past that syncs to VSYNC should best-effort sync to Hz" -- rather than cherrypicking which APIs are allowed to sync to Hz, when in the past they used to (at 60Hz). 

It's a new refresh rate race that needs to be evaluated on its genuine human-benefits merits, including making sure past APIs are compatible with this new reality.  Much like how browser APIs had to be changed to account for retina resolution screens in a broad-spectrum manner without cherrypicking.   The same is true for retina refresh rates.
