One bug in 2014 will require us to touch 30+ million lines of code?
Please be reasonable.
And everyone, remember _why_ we have a coding style. It's not so much
the specifics of _what_ the coding style is, it's the fact that we have
one at all. Don't argue the specifics of the coding style without a
really really good reason why, with real details and proof.
It took us a long time to increase the default line length, and that too
is still argued about for very good and valid reasons. That was
discussed in detail, not just thrown at us like this patch series was.
