Yes obviously you can’t make every CSS change an option, but changing the main font size is one of the most substantial changes made to a site.

So could you please at the very least edit the release notes to explain the change, give a small rationale, and explain what changes need to be made to revert it. This change should have been mentioned in the [first post of the release notes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/3-3-0-beta3-video-thumbnails-site-setting-confirmation-faster-access-to-plugin-settings-and-more/313390), not the [very bottom of the second post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/3-3-0-beta3-video-thumbnails-site-setting-confirmation-faster-access-to-plugin-settings-and-more/313390/3#:~:text=Increase%20base%20font,) with nothing but a link to the pull request.

And the pull request doesn’t even have any description! The [commit](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27087/commits/86c4c811b1e5881430a439168a72d464e44acbaa) gives no rationale either. It’s not a pull request that would have passed review if I’d been involved…
