@Ten Tailed Fox: editors make up a very small percentage visits (talking less than 5%). Please don't take that to mean they're not important (they are!) - but when mobile visits increase overall, it's almost entirely brand new people coming to see the content you guys have created.

Our hope is that the change will make it easier to make great looking content for everyone, not just users on the biggest screens. We're not looking to make life harder for editors - but around screen size, some trade-offs do need to be made.
