Will Google remove this API then if it’s abandoned?
Topic is reminiscent of a submission from yesterday about XSLT:

- simonw 1y agoXSLT requires hundreds of thousands (maybe millions?) of lines of security-sensitive code. That's why it's proposed for removal. I doubt that's true for .insertCell() and .insertRow().
- righthand 1y agoBut the precedent isn’t fix the security sensitive insertCell() API, it is to remove it due to low usage. The number of lines is irrelevant IMO. The Google deprecation notice fails to address why a gigantic company with nearly unlimited resources couldn’t implement this feature themselves instead of forcing a breaking change.
