Re: [Public WebGL] Propose moving EXT_disjoint_timer_query extension to community approved

[Florian Bösch <pyalot@gmail.com>]

I don't have a principal objection against moving to community approved. I do however have some concern that taking something out of draft where the public wasn't testing it, to community approved where it can't be changed or pulled back to draft has the potential to reveal bugs or specification deficiencies that're then harder to address. It's more a concern about the extension process after prefix avoidance, where we now lack a way to publicly expose draft extensions.

WebGL community,

I would like to propose moving WebGL's wrapper for the EXT_disjoint_timer_query extension to community approved:

https://www.khronos.org/registry/webgl/extensions/EXT_disjoint_timer_query/

Thanks to David Yen from the Chromium team, this extension is now implemented in Chromium behind the --enable-webgl-draft-extensions command line flag. With a final update to the conformance test [1] and a final change to the browser [2], there is now a fully spec compliant implementation of this extension.

Comments in favor or against?

Thanks,

-Ken
