Issue with "env()": compatibility description of "env()" on safari is ambiguous

MDN URL: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/env()

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

Description of “env()” compatibility table on safari

Specific section or headline?

Browser compatibility

What did you expect to see?

The description in caniuse is like this, safari 11 and safari on IOS 11.2 supported as constant() instead of env(). and the newer version supports env().

But the description of the MDN page is, safari removed in version 11.1 and later(Alternate name: constant), safari on IOS removed in version 11.3 and later(Alternate name: constant). It misled me to think that env() has been removed in 11.1+ and 11.3+.

Did you test this? If so, how?

It wouldn’t really make much sense to add a note to BCD, since the data’s structure covers the story, and other than an alternative name, it isn’t something like non-spec behavior. (Plus, if we added a note ourselves, then we should add one to all features with an alt. name, which just doesn’t seem right when we already have the machine-readable version.)

I haven’t given much thought to what we could do to update the wording, but one thought I have is perhaps we should swap the position of alt. name + prefix data and the support status? (In other words, the row would read like “Alternative name: constant; Removed in 11.3 and later”)

@schalkneethling This issue was affected by the idle-autoclose problem, can we reopen?
