I don't want to be rude and stomp on your guys work, but I absolutely dislike the general new layout for mobile.
It doesn't feel more "natural" or "cleaner" at all to me, more like i'm using SN upside-down, it's irritating.
Please make it possible to "toggle back" towards the "old" design for mobile.

If you can, try and tell me what's wrong with new layout. Boy do I know it's not easy, but if it's only that "I was used to the old design," then it suggests we only need to wait for you to get used to the new layout.

Maybe it's a bit short sighted, but to me, it looks like you took the navbar, mirrored it to some degree and decided to put it at the bottom of the layout, why?
What, in your opinion, are the advantages of this design against the former? I don't see any.
Again, i'm not trying to be a pain, but all it manages to achieve in my eyes is to confuse people, rather than creating a cleaner, more intuitive navigation of SN (on mobile, I only use mobile).
There certainly are things to be improved, but the layout and navigation certainly aren't on that list - at least not in this scope.
Edit: Also, the upper part of the layout looks a bit "lost" and empty, while the bottom part looks crowded and misplaced.

Maintaining both UI layouts over time is probably a large burden the team isn’t interested in doing.

Then I really hope that they'll return to the former design.
