In my book, increasing the font size without good reason has nothing to do with optimization. Just with some weird train of thought from their "modern UX (user experience) best practices", which somehow comes to the conclusion that their readers have problems with their eyes and forgot to get glasses/contact lenses. There is NO REASON for a bigger font. If the real reason would be that lines are to long, it'd be 20 times easier to just fix the .wikiarticle class length at a certain maximum - one line of CSS solving every "problem". Also less work than even attempting this horror.
