Since you brought up this example.... the BBC news site used to have a
mobile and desktop site... just like we did.

Eventually, they got their mobile site to a good state, removed the
desktop site and used the mobile site:
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-31966686

It's worth pointing out we are a smaller amount of volunteers with a
far more complex ecosystem (extensions) so it's likely to take us much
longer.
