Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-flexbox] Intrinsic main size algorithm for row flexboxes not web compatible (#8884)

Agenda+ because I don't see the point of this:

> For max-content sizes and for single-line min-content sizes,
> an implementation is conformant to CSS Flexible Box Layout
> if it conforms to either the Ideal Algorithm or the Web-compatible Algorithm

If one algo isn't web compatible, then it should just not be conformant. Having 2 conformant algos just complicates testing for no reason.

Also I disagree with the so-called "ideal" algorithm being ideal, in Servo we got various reports of cases where it was preventing line breaks against author expectations (e.g. https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/38432)
