I'll look up the link, but previously dang (I think?) said that it will be slowly improved, in a minimal-impact sort of way.
Introduce the HN API gradually, get the scrapers to shift over to it, improve html generation and css used. Would be interesting to hear updates on that.

Just increase the font size on the main page by a couple of sizes. On both Chrome and FF Mobile it have to zoom in like crazy just to click on the "# comments" link.
