With this change the user won't be able to just simply click on the url and have
it open for him. Thus I don't think this is a good change. Sometimes in the
kernel people leave lines over 80 characters to make the code more grep-able,
sometimes it's just more clear when it's over 80 characters or, probably, in
cases like this.
