Pau Giner has updated his RfC
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Requests_for_comment/Grid_system>
with more detail, and has submitted a patchset to Gerrit
<https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/125387/> so that the discussion can
get more specific. Also see the example implementation
<http://pauginer.github.io/agora-grid/>. Please comment!

Excerpts:

> There are many kinds of grids with different properties. Considering 
> the MediaWiki context, the most relevant properties considered for a 
> grid system are: Optional, Nestable, Proportional, Responsive and 
> Semantic....

> The proposed grid system uses style classes following the 
> breakpoint-proportion format (e.g., desk-two-thirds, palm-one-half) 
> to indicate the layout of elements in a specific screen size....

> The grid system will be supported as a set of LESS mixins and
> variables. This means that, the grid classes will not be exposed to
> the generated CSS. That will (a) lead to smaller and more semantic
> CSS and HTML, (b) reduced dependency with the grid concepts used and
> their implementation, and (c) avoid grid classes to be used out of
> their intended target (UI as opposed to user-generated content)....

Thanks, Pau!
