Yea, this would really be a step forward, but also a step out of the comfort zone of some newcomers. We haven't seen much but I hope it won’t be to aggressive so problems like described in the article, where windows get to big, or to small wont happen.

    Yes. The biggest hurdle is application support. Gnome apps might be quite convergent and might even support this new "max size" API but most cross-platform apps probably won't.

    So hopefully they'll also develop ways for this to work well for apps that don't provide any info.
