We have so many style rules, IWBN to simplify things where possible.
Does anyone know the origin of the 74 column "hard" limit for ChangeLogs?
I propose we change that to 80 to match the rule for code:
one column limit for everything.
I'm referring to the "hard" limit here. Apparently there's a 70-character
soft limit for code:
