I think this did not reach the mailing list to the W3: https://esdiscuss.org/topic/cancelable-promises#content-9 Actually the result cancellation is different from promise cancellation. First is full of implementation details, thus you are talking about smart cancellation. It is not smart, is the only way to provide control, thus, the cancellationToken. In the other side you're talking about "don't care" what is actually related with the flow control. It turns out, after a timeout, you are no longer interested in the result so you don't use it because you don't care. I insist, two concepts: one for cancelling a control flow, another for an specific operation of the implementation.
