Do we know when this change to the spec will be published? It's not in the working copy at https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-main/ or in a published spec yet. Trying to figure out when this will become "real" to developers.

OK, turns out it was updated but I didn't read far enough along. Turns out that SecurityError still exists but with another meaning, and since it was mentioned first...

All exceptions are now documented as per the latest spec: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaDevices/getUserMedia
