Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values] Should viewport units still depend on scrollbar width for overflow:scroll?

It sounds like you're saying that I would need to explicitly set the width of the scrollbars for the site to be able to use `vw` in a useable way? How would this make sense when operating systems and browsers all have different default scrollbar widths, I would always prefer to let the OS handle that how they see fit rather than force a set width. Let the OS/UI/browser do its thing and just tell me how much space I have for actual layout without causing horizontal scroll.

Oh well though, at this point the benefit of using `vw` is that it is even supported in IE9, but if there were to be some new method/unit/way of handling this I'm not so sure the older browsers would get those patches, which would require authors to use a different method regardless.
