The calls from Greg, Kaldari, Nemo and others for better documentation are 100% correct, and it's something we should do before we move to merge anything from the typography refresh in to Vector proper. There's a better FAQ and more in development by the design team, but getting that out and properly translated in just a week is not realistic. Overall the continued discussion on Wikitech-l suggestions to me that doing this by the 27th would be a rush job. Note that there was a small update to the feature on Friday, which removed the max-width restriction and tweaked some padding. I'd encourage anyone who hasn't tried the beta feature in a few weeks to give it another shot. We'll update Typography Refresh and the accompanying Talk page on mediawiki.org accordingly.
