Does anyone know the origin of the 74 column "hard" limit for ChangeLogs? I propose we change that to 80 to match the rule for code: one column limit for everything. I'm referring to the "hard" limit here. Apparently there's a 70-character soft limit for code: https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/JoelsCodingStyleCheatSheet#Maximum_line_length
