It’s not. Not since 7 years ago:

Why are you quoting a decade-old version that has been updated multiple 
times since?

I just started a new thread about this. The subject says flexbox, but if 
tables can cover the use cases please discuss there:

Come on Håkon, where have you been in the past year? Since January 2012, 
I have written about this to this list several times, proposed a 
replacement algorithm, made a few iterations on it, edited it in the 
spec, and published an updated WD with it.

In all this time, you, an editor of this module, never gave any response.

Now, could you please stop pretending that none of this happened, focus 
on what’s in the ED, and maybe help improve it?
