Oh lord, I hope it will not force some annoyingly huge text on us. I am perfectly happy with the site as it is, works well with text-reflow.
Agreed. I am free to zoom around and scroll through as much as I want right now and makes it very easy for me to use the site. Just take a look at Craigslist to see how terrible it cn be to have no ability to view all content.
As a fierce advocate for information density on Hacker News I can pretty well guarantee you it will never have annoyingly huge text.
