XXL grid size for large screens

new size: 1520px

Approximate duplicate of #14370.

[cvrebert]

Why 1520px specifically?

[cvrebert]

I presume this is a typo and you meant 1520px here?

[baebb]

yeah, oops

[baebb]

i picked 1520 cause it's 1.3x1200 and 992 is 1.3x768.

is there a better number to choose before i fix the 1560px mistake?

@mdo Has your opinion changed since #14370 (comment) ?

@mdo @cvrebert is it problematic to have >4 grid sizes?

I get that it's not hard to change the variables to your requirements via SASS and recompile, but me 3yrs ago [and other fresh devs] wouldn't have been able to do this. The point of BS was to make great web design accessible, right?

If there's a good reason to keep it 4 sizes then standard breakpoints should be updated at least.

Going to continue to pass on this. As this PR demonstrates, it's very easy to add a new tier to the grid (and get all the classes and mixins for free). We'll keep it as-is for now.

(Actually it'd be >5 since there are already 5 sizes.)
Not inherently, but adding sizes has trade-offs. Each additional grid size increases file size/"bloat" and increases cognitive load slightly. (And eventually, the names for the sizes start to get uglier/weirder.) So we have to balance these costs against how common and useful each new grid size would be. It's ultimately a judgment call.

then standard breakpoints should be updated at least.
