Via WICG/admin#190 The `biblio.json` file in WICG's admin repository has been maintained on and off in the past few years by random folks (including me). A few specs have now been retired or have moved somewhere else, and many active WICG specs do not appear in the list (for example, browser-specs contributes ~50 WICG specs to Specref that are not in WICG's `biblio.json` file). All in all, the list in browser-specs is a better source for WICG specs. This update stops pulling updates from WICG's `biblio.json` files, making it possible to retire the file. New WICG specs will continue to be reported through the script that pulls data from browser-specs. This update also flags retired and obsoleted WICG specs in `refs/wicg.json`, see short analysis in: WICG/admin#190 (comment) The script that looks at updates in browser-specs won't create entries that already exist in `refs/wicg.json`. One consequence is that possible updates to existing WICG specs listed in that file require manual intervention for the time being. It may make sense to delete most entries from `refs/wicg.json` (leaving only retired specs that do not exist in browser-specs, and aliases that start with `WICG-`), and to re-create them in `refs/browser-specs.json` by running the script that pulls info from browser-specs once WICG entries have been deleted. Not done here.
