Does this answer still hold true?

"What's the purpose of paddingvalues in a scaffold?"

it seems so :

```val bodyContentPlaceables = subcompose(ScaffoldLayoutContent.MainContent) {

val innerPadding = PaddingValues(bottom = bottomBarHeight.toDp())

content(innerPadding)

}.fastMap { it.measure(looseConstraints.copy(maxHeight = bodyContentHeight)) }```

from Scaffold.kt with 1.2.0-alpha06

Just want to call out that this behavior has now changed for material3 Scaffold specifically.

https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/compose-material3#1.0.0-alpha10

For material3 ’s Scaffold, the top bar is now included in the inner padding. As a consequence, there will be no need for an accompanist/insets-ui version of `material3`’s Scaffold for the use case of a translucent top app bar where you want to display content behind the top app bar.

The behavior for material Scaffold is unchanged, so that behavior is still accurate.

Oooh. very nice! I think that might be enough of a reason for me to try m3. 😄
