Hi Andrew,

I do most of my kernel hacking on the Linux console, so 80x25 is the
limit of what I see - and depending on the editor I'm using, lines
longer than 80 characters are chopped to 80 characters unless I scroll
to the right (which then makes moving up and down problematical.) So,
the files I'm responsible for are likely to stay requiring an 80
character width.
