TV use-cases seem like they'll become more prevalent, with Apple and Google and their devices. I could imagine that some window managers might introduce strange pixel-bending effects; but that's just imagination. I don't think we can speculate that much on output devices of the future... In any case, I think we're just talking about limiting the scope of support to exposing an X and Y ratio, instead of just exposing a single value. If the scope goes further, yes it may be a waste of time. Otherwise though, I think it's more a concern about precision/conciseness than it is about an investment of time/resources. That said, display technologies are over my head. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
