Wikipedia software isn't any special, so it doesn't need any special
coding rules. And 78 chars / line was important 10 years ago, but is seriously
too small for year 2003. Come on, we're all using hardware that easily
allows over 120 chars per line, not ?
I like sometimes to print a piece of code. Without reformating it. And of
course, it was only an example. Nothing we realy have to do.
I'm more interested in things like those I mailed some weeks ago:

(still unanswered, of course ;)
Or the policy should clear the topic of a ''code freeze'', which is never
lifted, but nobody seems to remember that.
All this are proposals, of course. And I certainly don't start editing the
policy on meta whitout a few comments from others here.
