Is the `padding` in the `body` really necessary?

[battaglr]

In shared/reset.css que can see the following:

body {
  padding: 0 10px; /* Prevent layout "sticking" to the edge of the browser */
}

I don't quite get why Chico should assign a padding to the body —every browsers sets a default of 0. Why is "prevent layout 'sticking' to the edge of the browser" a bad thing that we need to prevent with that line?

The design team had defined it for MercadoLibre in that way.

Good point.

How do you feel about creating a label like "Reconsider in v3" –or something like that–, so we can quickly filter the issues that doesn't apply right know, but we don't want to loose track of since might be useful in the future. This also may help with other issues that we are not sure to close for the same reason. Just a thought.

As we talked offline, and at the time I didn't have enough use-cases where this rule was being overridden. I'll be updating this comment with cases from different projects.

.body-full  {
    /* ... */
    padding: 0;
    /* ... */
}
