And by "fun", you mean "irrelevant".

If anybody does that, they'll simply not work. And it's not worth it even
trying to handle it.

That said, I'm pretty certain Windows has the same 4k issue, so we can
hope nobody will ever do that kind of idiotically broken hardware. Of
course, hardware people often do incredibly stupid things, so no
guarantees.
