Good spot Brad - the Camera API is now available to internal and priviledged. I've updated all the macros to say this.

Chris: what's the current process to catch these changes? Do the dev teams open a bug for such a change or is it done outside the bugzilla realm?

Usually I see announcements on lists like dev-webapi or dev-b2g, sometimes a bug is filed. In this particular case I saw the annoucement and did most of the work required to communicate this on MDN, but overlooked updating these banners. I guess the normal process should be to file a bug? Should we reiterate this to the engineers with a mail out?

I have similar issues at the english and german version of the WindowTimers.setTimeout() page https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WindowTimers/setTimeout

Still, they look ok now.
