It was chosen because most of the people we asked (in an admittedly small and unscientific survey) thought it was a better compromise between compactness and legibility than the font we were previously using. So far we've had few complaints (except when we changed the size in b99 as well, a change which we reverted in b100). But if we get enough negative feedback, then of course we will reconsider for the next release.
