<shrug> I'm not an 80 column zealot.

This is for staging isn't it?
Code churn there is expected and somewhat desired.

A lot of time, code churn can be useful when it
reduces the indentation depth.

For instance, this code could use continue more.

The longest line in this file is 158 chars, that's
probably excessive,  awk shows 35 lines > 80 chars.

staging rtl files have a couple hundred lines > 132
and thousands of lines > 80.
