Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-flexbox-1] Drop justify-content from affecting static-position of abspos within flexbox. (#7644)

(Repeating what I said about this proposal in https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7596#issuecomment-1217477264  when this was initially proposed as part of that issue):

I like this idea in theory (i.e. I like the idea of fully switching to only respect `align-self` / `justify-self` for aligning the staticpos of abspos flex children), but I'm a bit skeptical that it'll be web-compatible in the `justify` axis, given that:
a) all browsers currently respect `justify-content` for these children (and this proposal would make us stop doing that)
b) no browsers currently respect `justify-self` for these children (and this proposal would make us start doing that)

Each of (a) and (b) seem like they could cause webcompat problems.

Having said that: if IanK's use-counters prove it to be shippable without breaking the web, it'd be a pretty trivial change for Gecko, implementation-wise.
