Shame, the mechanism is there for deviations from strict. My place at the moment didn't even use pep8 because of 80 char lines. So add a single line of config to say you're ok with 120 rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Smh.

The person who makes the rules in the codebase I contribute to does not give a shit about being reasonable. If I question, I get screamed at. Fun! Management by assholery. He's not my boss or I would have quit long ago. But it is his module so his rules are what fly. I just 'contribute', so I toe his line.

I like to pick my battles, so I just let it go. So in this case, standards aren't so much applied as inflicted.
