Kirkburn has a point. We, as editors, start designing pages on much larger screens which a growing number of readers don't use. Thus the layout you think looks good typically doesn't for half the audience. This change isn't outrageous and it's not unreasonable. Part of this update is to help force you into considering smaller screens when formatting. I completely agree with the idea despite the need to tweek/fix layout and bugs.

@SuperSajuuk - Adding another layout to the same page means double the work and can lead to the likely possibility you'll end up with differences of information (or lack of updates) on one version or the other.
