Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid] Track sizing algorithm and gutters

I understand @MatsPalmgren position from the implementor POV but I also share @fantasai concerns. I'm reluctant to include anything related to gutters in the track sizing algorithm. Actually that's what we have been doing in Blink/WebKit, substract the size of the gutters from the available space and then run the algorithm normally. 

However, can we totally forget about gutters? Unfortunatelly not, as implementors we need to consider them in several places. Actually we're currently doing it without an explicit mention in the specs like [[here](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-grid/#algo-spanning-items)] for example. IMO it's implementors work to detect where we need to consider gutters gutters from computations.

Trying to reach some consensus what do you think about changing the status of the note mentioned by @mrego above, and transform it into a proper paragraph for implementors explaining that the gutters should be treated as fixed size tracks and that they should be likely considered in any computation which involves computing the size of spanning items or the available space in general.
