Seems logical. But if it does so, shouldn't it turn it back on then
(i.e. to the previous value) when it's deactivated?
At least when text-mode-auto-fill is on...

In addition to what David K suggested, it might be possible to just
wrap the text to the smallest of all window widths. That's not the
ideal solution, but still better than just wrapping all text to some
arbitrarily predefined line length by default.
By the way: longlines-mode (with longlines-wrap-follows-window-size)
seems to wrap to early when using a variable-width font. Since
variable-width fonts are predominantly used in text (as opposed to
code) writing contexts, and that's where longlines-mode plays an
important role, it might be a good idea to think about a fix.
