 * We are in API freeze

   is to use a size group.)

If we keep adding API, we'll never get 2.0 out. I've put your bug
on the 2.2 milestones,

As for solutions, I'm not sure I really understand your proposals.
I'd guess that a floats-valued X aligment property is probably
correct... we use floats for alignment. Y alignment doesn't seem
useful to me.
