Can anyone comment on the reasoning behind the lack of a mobile style sheet?

Until the redesign goes live, there are a few viable alternatives on mobile.

I have been using a mobile-friendly version of Hacker News called HackerWeb on my phone and tablet: http://cheeaun.github.io/hackerweb/

A handful of browser add-ons exist that will update the visual design and generally make the site more pleasurable to use. Here's one for Chrome: http://gabrielecirulli.github.io/hn-special/

Yeah I thought that new HTML was supposed to be coming online a couple of weeks ago?

October 28.

Hacker News is supposedly undergoing a redesign soon, which would assumingly include a responsive layout.

Not a redesign, but new markup that preserves the existing design.

dang I like the current design (it is no nonsense), but could one change be made to the location of the vote arrows. Could the down vote triangle be moved to after the users name (e.g. ^ dang v)? This would make it so much easier to avoid accidentally down voting on mobile devices.
