Which specific issues? The API in the specification is promise ready by using the permissions API, is behind a permission prompt and requires a secure context. My understanding is that there hasn't been a rework of the orientation specification in regards to the Generic Sensor API but there has for Ambient Light. We could trial this for Ambient Light perhaps, given that we want to remove the other implementation?
