ChangeLogs have 8 chars of indentation on every line, so they can be longer
than normal.
You mean, after one quoting, they are indented 12 spaces? That
distance tells me a ChangeLog is special. Presumably, it does not to
you.
Doing it in add-log means that it applies to non-emacs change logs too.
Doing it in emacs' own change logs applies to emacs only, so it will
not interfere with other projects.
Well, since I changed the default fill-column for 10 or 15 years
(until I decided that Emacs' shorter default made more sense), all I
can say is that you can change the default, too. It is a suggestion
-- and in my opinion, a very good suggestion for things read on
computer monitors. (As far as I am concerned, a shorter line length
does make sense for books printed without much interline space.)
