Re: Update of Coding standards line length

+1 All of my systems are 1280x800 or higher resolution. I personally hate the 80 character limit and is the cause of many worthless phpcs warnings that aren't worth a thing. I write good code and factor my expressions, but as Daniel said long regexes and ALL_THIS_NAMESPACE_CRAP causes some code to just get long. The team of developers I work with won't touch anything PEAR related because of some of these coding standards, and the 80 character line limit was one of them. After making a somewhat complex PEAR1 package I can't believe this line character limit exists! Others on the list and in #pear have flat out told me "there is no way" to make most things any shorter. Considering I have class names like Services_Shipping_Driver_UPS, something will be getting barked at. In all honesty the 80 char limit would seem to fit better in PEAR2 and should be removed from PEAR1.
