No, because you *are* guaranteed, in the end, that no flexbox can be larger than its max size, you can use that information when sizing the flexbox itself. Otherwise you can end up with a flexbox that is larger than necessary, because all its items are constrained by a max size. ~TJReceived on Tuesday, 8 May 2012 05:53:23 UTC
