[RFC] Change coding style rule: 80 column "hard limit" for ChangeLogs


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:
