Once again, you can't fix "X isn't supported" by proposing a new unsupported feature. That just produces a new, larger "X and Y aren't supported" problem. (Technically, if X is a very large, slow-moving target, and there's a very strong argument for a tiny piece of it that could justify it moving quickly, it might work. That is not the case here - Flexbox is moving along quite nicely.) ~TJ
