Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-overflow-4] scrollbar-gutter is too complex (#4674) from Felipe Erias via GitHub on 2021-04-23 (public-css-archive@w3.org from April 2021)

A clear use case for ` both` happens when applying ` scrollbar-gutter` to the root element: without `both`, the page content will be permanently skewed to one side instead of centred in the viewport.

Left: `html { scrollbar-gutter: stable; }`
Right: `html { scrollbar-gutter: stable both; }`

Note that without `both` there isn't an easy way to move from the scenario on the left to the scenario on the right using only CSS. IMHO the usefulness of this value would justify the small increase in complexity.
