This is a matter of preference not a logical debate and as I recall the 
author asked for some feedback on preferences. To me and perhaps others 
the change in font size seems excessive so that I prefer the font sizing 
in 27.1 to that of 28.7 but others may feel differently. It's nice to 
have a choice to keep (or restore) the theme to one that I prefer and 
thanks to Thomas for pointing out how to make that simple. I personally 
only recently changed from 25.24 to 27.1 but I appreciate the effort to 
maintain and improve the theme but realize that I may not like the changes.
