I'm not sure if that weirdness is worse or the fact that switching up
'flex: auto' to 'flex: <integer> auto' fails to map straightforwardly
is worse. (Also there's the back-compat issue.) Probably if we did
this from the beginning, your way would make more sense, but with
'flex: auto' the way it is now, I'm not so sure. :/

Since we're arguing on usability, would be good to get some author
feedback on the issue. Where do we find authors who understand
Flexbox enough to grok this issue? :)
