Once again, you can't fix "X isn't supported" by proposing a new
unsupported feature.  That just produces a new, larger "X and Y aren't
supported" problem.

(Technically, if X is a very large, slow-moving target, and there's a
very strong argument for a tiny piece of it that could justify it
moving quickly, it might work.  That is not the case here - Flexbox is
moving along quite nicely.)
