It's also dropping IE7 and FF3.6 support. I'm glad they'll be hosting versioned docs as Bootstrap 2.x is going to be in use for a good while longer.

Going handheld first and dropping older browsers? Good to know they're following the path that Foundation took.

I know it isn't really a big thing, but this is really going to cramp my style:

"Instead of .span and .offset, we're now using .col-span- and .col-offset-."

I can blaze through views using .row & .span in HAML, not so much now. I envision tons of personal errors in the short term as I transition projects to BS3.

===========

Issue #2, does anyone know why Glyphicons won out over Font Awesome? ( http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/ ) Isn't Glyphicons only free in .png? I'm kinda confused about how the licensing works here: http://glyphicons.com/

===========

Issue #3 [This is under the modal section...] This sounds like a bad idea, I personally don't have an ios3/4 device handy, but someone should be on that for something as big as bootstrap:

"Test on iOS5. Not sure if we need to go older, but I want to check here to see how well fixed is supported."

Wow that is a terrible change, I hope they back that out.

About Glyphicons

From Bootstrap docs (http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/base-css.html#icons):

"Glyphicons Halflings are normally not available for free, but an arrangement between Bootstrap and the Glyphicons creators have made this possible at no cost to you as developers. As a thank you, we ask you to include an optional link back to Glyphicons whenever practical."

Glyphicons provides a special license for bootstrap. I assume the publicity/business that bootstrap drives to glyphicons must be well worth giving away part of their paid product.

I didn't think fontawesome was around when bootstrap started, but I'd think now it'd be better to bundle fontawesome instead - more icons and they're scalable; that's been my experience of why FA>GI.

Forget about "mobile-first", this is probably the best part of Bootstrap 3:

Refactor components to be more mixin-friendly.

Honestly, Bootstrap will really benefit from being easier to fit into your own markup, rather than forcing your markup to fit Bootstrap. I mean: that's what CSS is kinda all about.
