No, that was never a rule. We did use -m so that we didn't have to do
so much work. But that was just cutting corners; we (meaning us
individually) allowed a little slop in line length just because we
didn't want to do the work. There has never been a policy that said
long lines were okay anywhere. Since the PR checks were added early
in March, there has not been any exceptions for long lines.
Lone lines due to comments to the right of a #define are not reported
at all by nxstyle currently. But that is a bug; it is missing a check
and is not detected. But if we fixed that now it would cost it a lot
of work. In the future we will require that.
