What would also help would be if everyone started every new sentence on a
newline.  It doesn't matter if they wrap the sentence into multiple lines,
but having a new sentence on a newline simplies git diff.

I wonder how to socialize this wider.  Maybe it's worth a three minute
plenary talk, but my guess is that the people we want to reach don't come to
the plenary.

Were it me, I'd do a commit where I *just* wrapped things.
