Why? When developing standards it's very good to have good gatekeepers. Not everything should be built inside the browser if you can achieve the same with existing technologies like JS.

Otherwise your browser(standards) might become too complex.

That is an orthogonal discussion.

I need masonry layouts a lot and tend to be on the "we don't need another display class" side in this debate. But that's unrelated to my "rant".

For what it’s worth, I found masonry layout always detrimental to my use of a site. I would prefer CSS not to encourage it by providing built-in support.
