One bit that can influence the desired behavior is whether the flexbox is being used as a *content layout* device (where reflowing differently when fragmented is fine and even desirable) or a *page layout* device (where "lay it out infinitely, then slice it with a minimum of change" is more desirable). While the other three flex-flow values can be legitimately used for both cases (in particular, there's some clever tricks that use `row wrap` for better control of wrapping across layout breakpoints), I think `column wrap` is exclusively, or at least very heavily tilted toward, the content-layout use-case. I don't recall ever seeing any tips on using `column wrap` for clever page layouts; it's, as far as I can tell, solely useful for laying out chunks of content in an area. We should thus tilt our reasoning towards that case, and the current spec handles it better imo. -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6855#issuecomment-1102932698 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
