It's amusing to me that the article body seems to be wrapped at 80 chars.
I think all of this stuff is an art not a science but I'd rather people didn't go much over 100 chars, it becomes really difficult to read and I'd argue in most cases there should probably be descriptive names given to parts of a long line in the form of variables/constants. Maybe this doesn't apply to kernel development but I love to name things really descriptively rather than giving things short names or building clever one liners.

Plus, you're most likely not going to check this conversation in into git. And you're probably not going to pipe it into grep. :^)
