The density has increased with things that aren't useful.

You're browsing the file listing page (<> Code tab) but it now has a bunch of extraneous stuff on the right hand side (Did you know that this repository has 0.5% Perl code??). Also the most prominent bit is the bold #105 in the commit message - who cares about the handcrafted comment, the important thing is the Github specific pull request number.

Agreed about the right column. Distracting and leaves much less room for what matters, typically a README.
