Please please keep it. It's not perfect (comment text still small, buttons & links are small, etc), but it's much better than before.

It's disappointing to see that the website that I spend the most time on on my phone still didn't have a mobile markup till today. Thank you for doing this. Now, please let's move forward, not backward.

As large touchscreens become more popular (iPad Pro, the Surface line, etc), I could se…

Alternately, how about being able to undo a vote, like reddit?

I remember we discussed that. I think once-for-all votes were an attempt at social engineering to shape the site.

I'm not against that, but I bet it would require a lot more work than a styling change.
