You can find many examples of such changes in the [issue tracker](https://github.com/WICG/interventions/issues?q=is%3Aissue), or learn more about the historical project in [older revisons of this README](https://github.com/WICG/interventions/blob/5c5e02cebfa469a31777ccfba39c846bd96f5fa6/README.md). 6 | 7 | Since the idea was originally proposed, the community has moved away from categorizing spec changes as "interventions" or "non-interventions". Many spec changes have some ingredient of changing existing behavior, or of providing user benefit. We found that the concept of interventions as a separate category sometimes confused people, leading them to think that intervention spec-changes did not follow the normal process for standardizing and shipping new proposals. (This was never the intent.) 8 | 9 | Similarly, we are no longer coordinating around such changes in this repository. Instead, we tend to submit specification change proposals to the relevant specification's repository, for discussion directly with that community. 10 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
