I don't think casual observers understand how many new CSS features have been added to the web platform over the last few years.
468 new features have been added since 2018; 148 have been added in the past 18 months alone [1].
I applaud the effort but unless something fundamentally changes in their approach, I don't see how they can catch up.
Sure, you don't need every single spec, but even the core ones like Flexbox, Grid are large and complicated and are constantly being tweaked.

- 1oooqooq 2y agoall of them were written in a way that mostly affect the api, not the underlying implementation models tho. it's still 500 new things to test and actually implement. but not as bad as the original 1 to 2 change. html5 was the forever missed opportunity to do things right. but keeping the browser-side effort low was always fought for on the w3 committe.
