Me too. Also note that during the release process, maven attacks all of 
the pom files in some way. I think this often strips all of the comments 
out, but it may be interesting to look at the generated results. (They 
would be on the 2.2.x branch)

For code, I do prefer a longer line. I have a widescreen laptop, so I am 
probably a little biased here. For text, I prefer no longer than 80 
characters.

I would agree with this. And then module maintainers/developers could go 
onto the other modules themselves.
