Scaling is a specific fallback for legacy/non-DPI-aware clients, to get
them to show anything at all. Other clients will render at the appropriate
resolution already.

Any plan that relies on integer scaling means you're wasting pixels on your
lovely dense display. Any plan that relies on non-integer scaling makes
your text blurry to the point of unreadable - again, a waste of pixels on
such lovely displays. Just render at the correct scale to begin with.

Cheers,
Daniel
