Feature Idea: Browser Agent: Make touch listener passive

[alan.fehr]

Google PageSpeed Insights is recommending to “Consider marking your touch and wheel event listeners as passive to improve your page’s scroll performance.”. The culprit is the NR browser agent. I noticed the scroll event has already been set to passive in release v1016, but the touch event is still generating a warning.

Any ideas how to get this into the issue queue / prioritized?

Thanks, Alan
