I know all these arguments, and I'm not going to get into them, except

font-size and reflow issue, as you can see from
http://people.apache.org/~slive/httpd-site/docs/
But I think most people would agree that this design looks less
"modern". Why? Because on the real internet, so many sites use a
smaller-than-default font size, that users think of the small size as
the real default and adjust their expectations and browser settings
accordingly.

WTF?  No they don't.

Bad design is just bad, not modern.  I think these choices look remedial
on the ASF site, but I'm too busy to do better.  They look bad on a more
technical site like httpd.a.o (where I have already done better).
