No, not really. They just added `let`, iterators/generators, destructuring assignment, etc in 2006 without asking anyone. Today, you can even use it without opting-in (via: type="application/javascript;version=1.7"). This stuff is supposed to be in ES6 in the future.

Parent said or being put into the standardization process. All those ES6 features are obviously in the standardization process.

And some others that were standards first, like xhtml, well, didn't go so well.
