We've had a bad experience in the past when we've removed features
from the web but retained them for extensions. If it turns to be
mostly used by extensions, we have a couple of options:
1) We can search the extensions store for developers using the
features and reach out to them proactively and evangelize the
webRequest API.
2) We can remove the API the next time we increase the manifest_version number.
In the past I've had a good experience evangelizing extension
developers. In a couple cases, I've sent them patches for their
extensions, which they were kind enough to apply.
Thank you for raising this issue. Let's see what we learn from the use counter.
