I wouldn’t favor any tinkering with site design at this stage. The minute a change such as this was implemented, there would be a chorus of howls from people who don’t want to see an increase in size cause a reduction in how much is displayed onscreen. “Hasn’t it been fine for (nearly*) five years?” they would ask, and rightly so. And then “What about my change? Won’t you fix a, b, and c to suit me?” I have seen a lot of complaints and suggestions in my three years, but text size has seldom or never come up.
So as long as there’s no site development going on, just as @janbb says, it’s pretty academic. But even if there were, my bet is that a change would trigger a protest and then a change back. So let’s just pretend that’s already happened and now we’re back.
Besides, every time you open the box, you risk breaking something. Right now everything’s working. I vote we leave it that way.
