I did a cursory look around and didn't see anyone suggest this. I'd like to see a new value for flex-wrap of "balance" or something similar. `flex-wrap: balance;` The purpose of this is to allow for flex-items to wrap in such a way that each row has a more evenly distributed set of items. Right now when a flex-row wraps, it wraps only the minimum number of items to let the row above fit. This is fine in some cases, but I find there is often a preference to more evenly distribute items among rows. Even attempting to create some JavaScript that will do this has been a big challenge since there doesn't seem to be a straight-forward way to force a row break between flex-items. Adobe has suggested something somewhat related with the text-wrap: balance proposal (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2013Jan/0597.html). This would do effectively the same thing for flex-items in a flex-container and could have a very similar syntax. Thanks for the consideration, feedback or suggestions. -- Cory Brown
