Description

The next versions of Chrome, Opera, and Firefox will support fetch. It would be nice to phase out XHR and push the newer technologies.

Fetch isn't completed yet but when it is more stable and widely adopted, this would be great. Here's more info: http://jakearchibald.com/2015/thats-so-fetch/

(This issue is more of a memo to self. But comments/questions are welcome too.)
