Editors discussed this and we think that capturing "we aren't going to do this anymore" probably doesn't belong in the spec itself. Instead, how-we-work/normative-conventions.md would be a good place for capturing this for the committee's benefit, and MDN for the community's.

Should this note be removed entirely or should the comment about species constructor availability stay?
