Change subject: lint/clang-format: set to 96 chars per line ......................................................................
Patch Set 2:
This is something that many people feel very strongly about and we never really agreed on. Feel free to reopen the discussion if you want, but can we please revert this patch in the meantime?
I would prefer not to revert. No matter the reasoning and latest discussions, this brings the configuration closer to our coding style (that was copied from the Linux kernel years ago). It says you may exceed the 80 chars limit if it increases readability.
So if the 80 chars aren't a hard limit, I don't see why we should let tools bother us with it.
