Description
https://www.w3.org/TR/css-display-3/#the-display-properties
I thought we were going for discrete for all properties that can't be intelligently interpolated, and that "not animatable" was reserved primarily for animation properties and the like?
Especially about display, there are plenty of use cases where authors want to finish an animation with display: none, and this prevents them from doing so.
