The definition above has been changed. The point is you have to point out in
the commit message why it's okay and makes no regression.
For example, "..._SHIFT is changed to ... according to documentation. Since
there was no user of it no regression will be made." Provide proper text, b/c
I have no idea what is exactly the reason of the change and if it's indeed used
to have no users.

We have more, but even if you stick with 80 the above is harder to get than if it is one line.
