Description
Currently, an Animation's timeline member is writable: https://drafts.csswg.org/web-animations-1/#the-animation-interface
I was wondering what the use cases were for replacing a timeline on an Animation. This came up in the context of https://github.com/WICG/scroll-animations/issues/44 - I'm not committing to any particular thought on that issue at the current time, but it would be a simpler world if timeline were readonly.
