You're quoting me saying things about the shout box - but I think you're
talking about the fixed navbar?

It's like one swipe to scroll back up even on big pages, I don't quite
buy that. But I find the mobile header much less intrusive / distracting
than the non-mobile one (Doesn't change size. Only a small symbol, not
multiple links), so I don't care as much.

FWIW, the mobile docs view looks kinda bad when you start out. I've
attached a screenshot from my phone. The amount of space taken by the
header, by the shoutbox, by the version selectors (man, that's like 5
lines), the search box, the docs header, is more than a bit
disproportional.
