So, I looked back at my commit history, and that change shows up with the commit message "Change flex-pack:justify to distribute, to match Grid.". Grid has no such thing. Thus, I'm pretty sure I was on crack at the time. I think Fantasai may have suggested changing it, because it's not exactly the same as justification. Text justification only triggers when the text is "close enough" to a full line, while flex-pack:distribute always triggers. I don't have a problem changing it back, though. ~TJ
