What makes a feature more or less significant?\r\n\r\ne.g., Promises, while useful, were already informally standardized and implemented in ES5. In my opinion that makes the feature less significant; yet it's labelled \"landmark\". Whereas tail calls are merely \"significant\" (apparently less ground-breaking than syntactic sugar like spread and computed object literal keys), even though tail calls enable new algorithms and programming styles.\r\n\r\nI'm not trying to convince you to re-rate these particular features. I'm pointing out that \"significance\" is a matter of opinion. Ratings aren't facts, which makes them seem out-of-place in a table of statistics.\r\n\r\nRating the features doesn't seem to have anything to do with compatibility, unless the rating has some correlation to the probable difficulty of implementation. I suggest removing these ratings."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/kangax/compat-table/issues/comments/186959613","html_url":"https://github.com/kangax/compat-table/issues/687#issuecomment-186959613","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/kangax/compat-table/issues/687","id":186959613,"user":{"login":"jacksonrayhamilton","id":5356588,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5356588?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/jacksonrayhamilton","html_url":"https://github.com/jacksonrayhamilton","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jacksonrayhamilton/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jacksonrayhamilton/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jacksonrayhamilton/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jacksonrayhamilton/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jacksonrayhamilton/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jacksonrayhamilton/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jacksonrayhamilton/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jacksonrayhamilton/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jacksonrayhamilton/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-02-22T01:16:47Z","updated_at":"2016-02-22T01:16:47Z","body":"Looks like [the wording has been changed](https://github.com/kangax/compat-table/commit/6041f0f1ab95e8e9107955c69e3884cb7f32afd1#diff-74851a955d28cd20218dd75997da85a4L112), thanks for addressing this."}}
