It's easy to click maximize when wanted.
I set to 900px. Given padding/margin and such, you might get a scrollbar as the page may be larger than 900px (just by a few pixels though). Curiously that makes the layout more clean when browsed via Android and iPhone, don't ask me why.

Wide texts are a nuisance anyway (very, very hard to read), and IMHO they are typographical mistakes. Web people tend to care: most sites I have taken as model make extensive use of fixed layout (you get a central page with a background filler on left and right), or wrap around text with multi columns layouts. > > > - add cvsweb and releng links for pkgsrc in the pkgsrc/packages menu > > > > cvsweb?
