While the coding standards make suggestions for how to wrap lines, I do not think line wrapping should be required.

I've been getting complaints about authors who are coming back to find their code line-wrapped in ways they are not happy with.

I don't mind people going back and fixing whitespace/indents/brace positioning, but I would prefer that wrapping be left alone unless you're at least also making functional changes to those lines.

Otherwise it creates a lot of needless churn in the diffs, and it can't simply be ignored with -b.

I also notice that our emacs modeline includes a fill-column:99 ... do we need to rethink this? I don't mind it so much if it's wrapping new code, but if it's forcibly reformatting existing code, that's not cool.
