 Replying to [comment:37 afercia]:

 There is plenty disagreement to go around but placeholders have enough use
 cases and agreement to make it into the spec. Even in the below-linked
 page, there is the discussion on how to address the usage and
 Accessibilitiy without the arbitrary removal of placeholders. Nobody is
 saying this is not a complex issue, but simply doubling down on the
 argument to arbitrarily dictate this issue for everyone that uses WP and
 to say "we won't support the spec" is still no more legitimate following
 your reply. The argument seems to be to simply point out that some
 developers/designers misuse the tools at hand so the tools should be
 removed/denied. That is enough argument to remove the entire internet.
