It seems to me that making commits to change whitespace that, from
what I can tell, benefits no one (the fact that you didn't simply
answer my question suggests you don't know any benefit either) and
harms at least one person is the stupid thing.
I happen to like 80 characters per line, so I'm benefited.
To answer your original question: it's because we've done
it this way forever, and there's not really any reason to
change.
