Hi folks,

> The 120 would be a dream come true :)

To be honest, I feel very uncomfortable with changing the coding style. 
This would make the existing code look like a mess. If we really break 
with the 80 lines limit, we should only do it for new projects.

Since the 80 characters have a historical background, the new policy 
should have a historical background too. I would suggest to use 132 
columns (DECwriter II)

regards,
Philipp
