Currently bootstrap uses pixels for font units of measurements. I'd like to see a switch to % or ems like YUI fonts. http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/cssfonts/

Nope.

Browsers have switched to page zooming over scaling and there is no logical reason to use percentages or ems anymore. The overhead just isn't worth it with figuring out the math and managing that.

There is still argument for em. You can scale only some aspects of UI using font-size in parent container, it's really useful feature. E.g. I might want all elements to be smaller/bigger in sidebar. Currently it's really pain to seek all pixel definitions and override them.
