   out at 248px just above the 1-col step; a 4-up panel is only that wide once
   the viewport passes ~1098px, so stepping to four any earlier would render
   panels smaller than the narrowest they ever get on a phone. Stepping at the
   existing 900px would put a 199px panel on a 901px laptop - the worst case in
