   This is the problem with a change like this. Its a debate where there is no 
"correct" answer. Some like it one way and some like it another. However that 
is not a reason to not change - as you said, software is always changing and in 
my opinion the style can change too. We can see that as the Java language has 
evolved over the versions, software gets refactored etc.

think it's a good idea of giving more weight of people who did special 
contribution for Ozone.
   
   I believe a vote is the best way to get an idea of what the community wants. 
Let the people who are actively involved in the project give their opinion.
   
   Its probably best to do this like a normal release or merge vote. Post it to 
the mailing list, and Slack and give it 7 days for responses. I'd be inclined 
to with just two options 80 or 120, but add in the 100 option too if you like.
   
   I'd be happy with 100 or 120. Perhaps going for the middle ground (100) 
would be more sympathetic to the existing code style as the lines would not be 
too much longer.
