It might also help to change the warning given by the check.

When a program called "lint" tells me that something is too long, I 
understand that to mean that what I've done is generally considered bad 
style, but there might be a very good reason to do it in some specific 
case. For example, I might exceed a line length guideline to avoid 
inserting linebreaks into a URL.

If instead `guix lint` is telling us about a hard limit that will break 
things, I think it should say so clearly.
