FWIW, as a clarification, the Tendrl frontend team wanted to avoid floating
grids, and use flexbox based layouts.
It has nothing to do with the spec-non-solidified grid layout - that's out
of the picture.

Our app is mostly targeted for modern browsers, although a clear boundary
hasn't been drawn yet (as Ju mentioned).

We do want to use patternfly for all the features it brings, but not having
flexbox layouts are only concern against it.
