Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid-3] Renaming `masonry` keyword (#9733)

“Masonry” has such a rigid meaning—set a brick in place and it stays put. It's a print-media mindset. I also think "masonry" would hamper adoption because of the legacy perception that strongly connects the word to the grid of images use case.

Like masonry, “waterfall” is another metaphor. I think it would be better to use a term that declares a state rather than a metaphor.

The underlying concept of waterfall is flow. “Flow” has established meaning in CSS so perhaps troublesome to use this way, but `grid-template-rows: flow` feels appropriately descriptive. It explains that a behavior is happening more so than `off`.
