Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-flexbox-1][css-position-3] static position of abspos flex children (#5843)

I'm interested in this issue because it's a large chunk of failures in https://wpt.fyi/compat2021?feature=css-flexbox and am trying to understand, with the help of @svillar. I'm wondering about these two comments:

@tabatkins said:

@dholbert said:

Getting clarity on this would be great, and seems like it's what should determine the outcome here. If there is already a high degree of interop here, then unless the behavior creates problems for web developers, just sticking with it seems best. But there have been cases in the past when moving away from interop has been the only way to get to a sensible state, so it's not a hard rule. What should happen here?
