great idea, but 1:1 is what it should have always been

Nah, we should use some freedom aspect ratio, like 1.47266478:1.984772673

We are now to use 1x√2 as the optimal aspect ratio, as to allow screens to be put side by side, and then turned into larger screens.

I could definitely get on board with extending ISO 216 to include a standardized set of screen sizes with this aspect ratio.
