    Test suites for Web platform specs — including WHATWG, W3C, and others

    > due to a bug in the testing framework

    the "bug" is https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/issues/31147

    MacOS 11 isn't allowed(?) to be virtualized, so the Safari TP, which is tied to MacOS updates, couldn't be updated.

    > That's why there's uproar

    Was there an uproar? There were some objections from some Safari devs that they understood the difficulty in getting the latest number since the web platform test runner can't run the latest Safari Tech Preview (which they've also known for some time), but since the whole point of this was to show how browsers have improved their compatibility on this set of tests, it was hurtful and counterproductive to leave out their latest work. Chrome devs apologized and now we have this article, and it looks like the test runner will start running WebKitGTK for this set of tests so at least the Compat 2021 dashboard[1] will show the latest results.

    >Safari was slow to support the `gap` property for Flexbox and still doesn't support it for multi-column layout (e.g. `column-count: 2;`).
