However, there's a valid use case of polyfills that gets ignored:\r\n\r\nWhen you have nested dependencies that have less backwards support than you do they won't use ponyfills/polyfills. Now you can't use that particular dependency without using a full polyfill unless you fork the dependency (which could also be several deps deep).\r\n\r\n1. I think package authors should be encouraged to use ponyfills longer than everyone else\r\n2. I think polyfills should be limitedly encouraged as the correct solution to that particular problem\r\n\r\n"}}
