@all2 : I've written an essay on my approach:

https://0xadada.pub/2015/11/05/a-retrospective-responsive-de...

but to summarize some of its main points:

Responsive design is:

* A process * A relinquishing of the false sense of comfort we get when designing for a “design comp” * An experience-first / MVP friendly approach to building dynamic, consistent and importantly a complete experience that adapts to users context * A conduit for the flow of of communication, and much much like water, it flows into different browsers & devices, flows into robot search engine crawlers, flows into RSS feeds, flows into meta-data (hReview) parsers, flows into printers, flows into read-later tools like Web Clippings, Pocket, Instapaper and FlipBoard

Responsive Design isn’t a set of CSS features, a technology stack or a set of tools. Its when an organization decides to collaborate around a process; with accountability to the user first, to each other second, and to solve the technology last, once all important decisions have been made.

I don't think it's too prescriptivist to say, this isn't what responsive design means.
