Feedback from @richtabor:

We should create actual patterns with this to feel it out in a more realistic fashion, validating many of these concepts with actual flows and end-results. Otherwise it feels like we’re building a tool, not an experience.

Questions and flows I think we should validate:

1. Should grid start with auto, or manual? Is it clear what each is used for? Should there be a block variation to help clarify when you first add the block (like the group block).
2. Does “Minimum column width” make sense in both auto and manual? Is it clear what this does?
3. Will users who want a “Manual” grid want a better starting point, with an initial set of rows and columns. I suspect yes. What should that default be? In one sense, the more columns and rows you have, the more control you have to design this section of a page.
4. When I add an image and I resize it to the grid, do I expect that the image respects that resize and essentially “fills” the space it’s contained to? I think probably.

All good questions I'd like to discuss openly with @WordPress/gutenberg-design.
