Hi all, releases are approaching, so it’s the right time to start some bike shedding on the mailing list. Recently I got pointed out several times [1][2] that I violate our commit message requirement [3] for the message lines that says: "Subsequent lines should be wrapped at 72 characters.” I agree that very long commit message lines can be bad, f.e. if they are 200+ chars. But <= 79 chars?.. Don’t think so. Especially since we have 79 chars limit for the code. We had a check for the line lengths in openstack-dev/hacking before but it was killed [4] as per openstack-dev@ discussion [5]. I believe commit message lines of <=80 chars are absolutely fine and should not get -1 treatment. I propose to raise the limit for the guideline on wiki accordingly. Comments?
