Probably never. Sadly the folks at HN have proved over the years that they don't really care about making this site's ui functional. There's no reason I should have to permanently zoom in on this site or make custom CSS just to do work that they should have done years ago. I can do it, but that's not the point. Is the gain in "retro styling" really worth the drop in UX? Do the people at HN truly believe that it's perfect and everyone who doesn't like it is just wrong? Or is it just laziness, (i.e. it works and our core users aren't leaving the platform over it, so it's not worth working on).

I'd love to be proved wrong though.
