Comment(by mikeperry):

 The design doc is unfortunately currently stuck waiting on "death by 1000
 cuts" of small updates. See #5273 if you'd like to drop a reminder/make
 suggestions the next revision. I'll probably update it around the time we
 start investigating 17.x-ESR, most likely?

 Maximization is a concern. I've pondered disabling it or at least warning
 users first for lack of a better idea. I suppose we could dig deep and
 figure out how to virtualize a fixed resolution no matter what. There's
 probably scaling code in FF mobile to do this. It's likely to be quite
 involved though.

 However, I consider tiling window manager users to be a mutant minority.
 In general, I don't find it worthwhile to design for them, except perhaps
 through solutions that also serve the normals. (Also, shouldn't their
 resolution keep changing as more windows are added to a given desktop?)

 What do you guys think we should do?
