(External quote from the maintainer)

Bit of a tangent, but what's the play here? The library is worse than it could be because of this reason. And of course you have adoption and don't want to break people's shit.

Seems like we're missing out on "what could be."

People should not have the power to set paddings of less than 4px, and only do so in increments of 4.

If you do it this way it becomes harder for anyone to go wild with every variant of padding under 8/12.
