I thought Apple had always made clear that resolution independence,

an end-user feature, would "go prime time" when high-dpi panels were
shipping in their machines.
I would consider jamming 1920x1200 into a laptop to be high-dpi. I
played
with resolution independence a while back with an early seed, and
wow, it
was just gorgeous (the bits that worked, that is).
The high-res 17" screens are about 133 dpi, which is getting close to
twice the notional 72 dpi "point-to-pixel equivalence" that is stated
in Apple's "Coordinate Systems and Transforms" documentation. Having
just bought a new MacBook last week I am enjoying the higher density
screen but I have more than once felt that resolution independence is
becoming a "need" rather than a "want" with this type of display.
