I will not approve this change. The current text says pretty much what it needs to say: "lines longer 100 should be generally avoided". Any exception to that is developer's choice.

This change is necessary to establish the hard limit of 130 columns.

Does this mean, from now on, I can choose to use 500-column lines (if it does not violate rule 3.14)?
