Changes (by joedolson):

 * milestone:  Future Release => 6.8


Comment:

 It's more accurate to say that certain accessibility guardrails are baked
 in, but not enough to actually turn it into an independent accessible
 interface component.

 But I'll freely admit that I'm on the fence about this. But right now the
 accessibility API mapping is a moving target, because it's been changing
 fairly rapidly. Last I checked, it had very irregular handling on mobile &
 was limited in WebKit, but that was months ago.

 But one of the largest concerns is that since CSS Anchor Positioning is
 not yet mainstream, there are limitations on how usable the popover will
 be without JS.

 What I'll say is that this can wait until late in the release cycle; it's
 pretty trivial to add; I just need to find the time to thoroughly check it
 over so that I know the exact cross-browser limitations.

 Happy to move it back into the 6.8 milestone, just with the caveat that
 it's going to need an accompanying article on usage and limitations, and
 that should be considered a blocker to commit.
