Can we just make fromPromise take a Thenable instead? That would mirror the JavaScript convention of treating "everything that has a then" as being secretly a Promise. It's even fully source and binary compatible in IO, and fully binary compatible in Async.

Sure, makes sense!

I feel I am never going to understand binary compatibility 🤔 I didn't think this would be binary compatible because when relaxing the queue signatures to the source/sink supertypes in fs2 in typelevel/fs2#2466, it wasn't binary compatible. Why is it different here?

Ahh, because type erasure.

The binary type is erased to IO in the former case, and erased to Object in the latter case, so anything goes. :-P
