I don't know. If edje objs feel it's important to have min/max sizes
then why not for other kinds of objs? Also, when an edje that swallows
another obj computes its min/max size, why not use the same such
for those objs - why something else? Or, if 'hints' are all that's needed
for other objs, then why not for edje ones too? etc..
In other words, a lot of this seems artificial and arbitrary either
way - except that getting min/max sizes at least has a semi-intuitive
semantics, whereas 'hints' has a rather ambiguous semantics for its
effect by comparison.
In other words.. I have no idea.
