[wp-hackers] Extra columns in 3.8?

[Andrew Nacin]

Your screen needs to be at least 1500px for it to jump to three columns.
It's responsive, based on CSS media queries, not anything in PHP. The
obviousness of it could be looked at post-3.8.

There is probably a way to restrict the dashboard to 2 columns in PHP. It
might require adding back the screen option that had existed in 3.7. I'm
not aware of the global $screen_layout_columns doing anything.
