Some people say that character-width standards are pretty much
obsolete these days. I disagree.
I am with you on this--and my mind is firmly made up.
We will continue with the 80-column default, and continue
designing Emacs displays to work with it.
I'm not against making some displays adapt to other widths,
when someone wants to implement that, assuming the code is clean.
But let's not further consider any larger change.
