I can understand that having a strict hard limit is pretty stupid - having to split a printf format string just makes grepping harder. But really, long lines do make code harder to read. 80 is the default width of basically all text editors, it just makes sense that if you are going to limit it, it should be 80.
Would you really ok a code review where every line (hell even one or two lines) took up 200+ chars?
