I wish Web Packaging / Web Bundles / Signed HTTP Exchanges has gotten some support from the web community. The idea that the content can be signed, that imwe can pass it along however we want, is a super powerful tool, one that allows origins to radically de-emphasizes the need for serving / hosting if they want.
It's unclear to me why Mozilla was clutching so hard to the idea that the act of hosting is so sacrosanct. They talk at length through the matter, and I appreciate the effort they go through (web standards are amazing) but none of the FUD lands with me, none of the downsides feels like a truly significant change from what the web can do already.
