I remember 2 years ago a blind developer thanked the QEMU community to
still restrict commits to 80 characters, because while 4K display are
available, he and other visually impaired developers cloud still
browse the QEMU codebase with their refreshable Braille display (which
was 80 cels). I don't know how many visually impaired developers are
following this project. A quick google returns " There is no concept
of Unicode in Braille. In that sense Braille is similar to old 8-bit
code pages which represented different symbols in different languages
for the same symbol code."
(https://superuser.com/questions/629443/represent-unicode-characters-in-braille).

(I'm Cc'ing Samuel who cares about Braille displays.)
