I am interested in constructive feedback and discussion on how to solve the problem of
first sentences not being very readable on mobile devices. Feel free to begin such a
discussion. Moushira, the Community Liaison for the Mobile Teams, would probably be
interested in helping you out. :-)
In the mean time though, the perfect cannot be the enemy of the good. The team intends to
proceed with this until a more firm solution is found for the problem of first sentences
being difficult to read on mobile devices due to screen space.
This is me waving my red flag and telling you that you are walking into/picking a huge
fight with ‘the community’. You can’t win anything here, there will only be losers.
If you want to convince users that something needs to be done here, you should consider
handing tools to the community to detect that something is wrong. Like

It’s hugely inefficient, but empower the user, instead of making decisions for him.
