Matt Thomas, the style lead, and the first font in the stack is Consolas,
the primary monospace font on Windows for six years now.

It was also done in public, on Trac, and you and anyone else was welcome to
contribute -- and file a bug report, if there's a problem -- so I don't
think the tone is necessary.

I'm suggesting that when we make a design decision, we shouldn't include
ways to reverse that decision (fonts, sizes, etc.) in a post that lists
"problems" with a new version. It's conflating the issues.
