[BA] The major flaw of cloning is the potential for simulcast streams to converge.  That flaw was addressed in RTCRtpEncodingParameters by introducing resolutionScaleDownBy - to ensure the streams remain distinct.  

However, if only maxFramerate and maxHeight/maxWidth are used in the encoding parameters, it would appear to me that the risk of stream convergence is reintroduced - but with a lot more complexity than cloning using the same parameters in constraints. 

What am I missing?
