Tables adjust the size of their cells when things are baseline-aligned.  Grid and Flexbox need to do so too; otherwise, you'd get results like ![Status of the grid when we apply baseline alignment](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/11602/25994223/61544320-370d-11e7-9b56-4105952e8cd9.png), where anything that had to move down to align is likely to overflow. This would make baseline alignment entirely unusable within auto-height containers.

Currently, the spec attempts to address this by including these adjustments in the intrinsic sizes of the aligned items. Are you suggesting there is some other way to get this behavior? If so, how? :)
