Re: [VOTE] [RESULT] (or so) extend maximum allowed line length from 120 to 160

[Mark Struberg <st...@yahoo.de>]

Hi folks!

I actually didn't really count the vote, but as there were a few -1 and a few +0 I'd like to revoke the vote and would say we stick with 120 chars/line. 


Which means I'll go on and fix the linebreaks in myfaces-core (*sigh*) 


LieGrue,
strub
