 Replying to [comment:9 bert]:

 > But this is not a hard requirement, and there are and will be activities
 that do not scale well. In particular ports of existing apps that do not
 use vector graphics throughout.

 How are we going to encourage fixing them (or even detecting them) if even
 the emulators use exactly the same resolution of the hardware?

 I see value in varying the test environment slightly to break assumptions
 that resolution will never change.  The resolution *will* change with each
 bew generation of the hardware.

 Better making it clear now than being forced to add compatibilty kludges
 reminiscent of MS-DOS.
