I agree that extra long lines make reading text impossible -- 500 is madness, for example -- but 100 columns is a marked improvement over 80 in reading quickly for me, where I can take in more text on one glance. I regularly will reformat long emails in vim with gq, and I'm not the only one who does that; it was a nice suggestion made to me years ago. Either way, I would prefer not to bikeshed these minutia. If you want to impose a different column limit for comments than for the rest of the code, I suggest you bring that up in the original thread where Linus was discussing this stuff and codify it there as part of the style guide. Please don't derail this patch before net-next closes tomorrow; that will make things a larger headache than necessary. Jason
