That's a stretch… So here's the thing:

- Opting in to highdpi ist typically necessary very early in a process startup
  (at least when you want to stay platform-independend)
- For our vm that means, the image cannot simply use a primitive to say, hey I'm high-dpi ready 
  in order to change that later.
- We _can_ typically control the behavior via vm-specific files (Info.plist/ .exe.manifest)
- So, to avoid surprises because the image may not yet react to highdpi or dpi changes, 
  the default vms should come with high-dpi off.
- but When we add the code soon-ish, we could switch-on by default for the next image format change that would
  nevertheless need a new vm. This would be *drummroll* sista.

So what I propose is:
- Trunk receives code updates to handle high-dpi changes very soon (i got stuff in the pipeline but not yet fully ready)
- Cog remains low-dpi (except people opt *in* the _vm_ via files)
- Sista becomes high-dpi-aware (except people opt *out* the _vm_ via files)

This would need only few changes to the code base.

Eliot, what's newspeak's stance on high-dpi?

Best regards
