Details

The Firefox platform status page https://platform-status.mozilla.org/ is great for web developers to know what Firefox is working on or interested in implementing. Other browsers also have status pages, and web developers have come to expect browser vendors to advertise their intents and backlogs in such a way.

But, unfortunately, the data on this page is stale. In fact the repository has been archived: https://github.com/mozilla/platform-status

The page now does more harm than good, since it shows outdated information and not only about Firefox, but about other browsers too.
Although this page may seem like an interesting way for devs to get compat data about various APIs, this data is actually incorrect.

Could someone please either:

  • remove that page,
  • or put a big message at the top saying it's been archived and is outdated?

In the meantime someone took the page offline, so I guess this bug can be closed now.

I agree with Patrick that a status page like that one is a good way to give web developers an overview of what's been worked on. So I'd prefer if that page could be revived and somebody took the time to keep it up-to-date.
