Not from an ergonomic point of view. Long lines of text are stressful for the eyes and make reading harder.
I think we should get rid of those all together

We have discussed the width of the boundary at least twice in the past. Several people felt the current one was taking up too much screen estate. I still think that it should be made narrower (at most 5% on each side). "Long lines of text" is easy to solve. Just reduce the width of your browser window.
Not to turn this into a flame session ... BUT :D
I set my screen at a very high resolution specifically SO I can fit more stuff on the visible page. I know how I WANT to read websites.
You can always make your browser be smaller to SHRINK the lines to whatever size you want ... however I CANNOT make your artificial boundaries bigger at all.
SO, why would we FORCE a certain page width on people if there is no technical reason why it is required.
OBVIOUSLY it is not desired by everyone ... and if we fail full screen then you have another option. But if we fail 1/2 screen the people who want it like me have NO OTHER options ...
I'm just saying :D
I agree.
We added these two alternatives (See modern-CentOS wiki page). One with 5% of margin and other without margins at all.
