I honestly have to question how important that is to us. How many people are really trying to make use of the kernel documentation on small-screen devices? This is the kind of information you need when you have editor and terminal windows open. Making small screens work better is fine on its own, but I don't think it should be done at the cost of proper rendering on the sort of devices that developers actually use. There are limits to which we want to develop and maintain our own custom theme for a use case that, I believe, is pretty rare. Thanks, jon
