Dropdowns using Tether? #19682
Description
Tether js for dropdowns?
I like the improvements Tether provides for tooltips/popovers in bootstrap v4. Is there a reason it was not implemented for dropdowns?
This would help with having dropdowns flow outside of overflows, as well as positioning.
Example:

The idea here is that I should not have to write custom event handlers to capture the dropdowns and introduce tether.

No deliberate reason. Patches welcomed.
Dropdowns in Bootstrap v3 didn't dynamically position themselves like Tooltips/Popovers do, so there wasn't any relevant Dropdown positioning JS to rewrite when we migrated to Tether in v4-dev.
