Well, I thought that some different size at least would show that we are
not stuck to A4 or letter -) When printed from acrobat, this document is
mapped nicely on 21 cm or letter (auto scaling). 

Although in principle any layout is possible, in preactice such a change
would mean that all verbatim stuff should be rewrapped. The current
settings are more efficient, especially because the setups also take
less space when wide. (Otherwise the manual would have 100 pages extra,
which is what publishers of comupter books like, but I hate.)
