@foolip some specific follow ups for you on this report, presented as me giving you a to-do list (sorry):

• Chrome status entry: remove-jpeg-or-png-embedded-in-bmp used by https://chromestatus.com/feature/5153489630134272

  Proposed action: allow this entry to not have a corresponding web-features entry.

  It looks to be a non-feature, where there's unspecified behavior implemented by Chrome that's being withdrawn. Ordinarily, this might be a case for a discouraged feature, but the linked status entry says, "No usage has been registered […] Not just minimal usage, but no usage whatsoever." I love the commitment to transparency on Chrome Status, but in web-features I don't think there's any good to come from highlighting the existence of something for developers, only to tell them to not do the thing they've never done before.

• Chrome status entry: feature-policy used by https://chromestatus.com/feature/6294138899136512, https://chromestatus.com/feature/5190687460950016, and https://chromestatus.com/feature/5694225681219584

  Proposed action: Re-review Add features for permissions policy and feature policy #2661.

• Use counter: ReferenceTarget

  Proposed action: use referencetarget (added in Add the referencetarget feature #3376)

• Use counter: WebAppManifestUpdate

  Proposed action: continue to follow up as mentioned in web-features consumers report for 2025-11-01 #3494 (comment).
