The only reason I know is to remove extra spaces char in 'rendered documentation' which is generated by line break. For this purpose, 40 or 60 line chars limit can't fulfill it obviously. Yizhou's suggestion has no line break unless a punctuation hitted, so the space will happen with the punctuation. This makes the rendered document look good, but will lead to toooo long and never alignment lines in the source document. It looks like we have no good way to resolve this issue by style change. Also the '60' number seems an arbitrary number? If we have to relief this problem from coding style change, why not follow the new rule after checkpatch's change: from 80 to 100, let's say about 50 Chinese chars plus breaking after a meaningful Chinese word?
