I feel like the current requirement degrades the experience for many people. > New recommendations, to me, should be net improvements.

I feel like my proposal is a vast net improvement, although I do understand that it would degrade the workflow of a small number of people. However, on balance, with the number of people who would have an improved workflow vs. the number of people who would have a degraded workflow, I think it is the correct decision for Debian as a whole. > Moreover, as Antonio said, do you really think that this matter is > important enough to have everyone in Debian care about it? Yes, I do. I sat on this idea for a while before my first post to make sure I really felt it was worth the effort it would take and that it really mattered enough to pursue. Email is the way the majority of people interface with Debian. Having a good email experience is therefore worth the attention of the entire Debian community. > Rather than trying to force my opinion on everyone, I'd work to improve > existing software. I agree. That is why I think, given the current state of affairs, it is inappropriate for the code of conduct to force a particular column width on anyone. -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
