Not necessarily.  Paolo does not say why that line was added.
I don't remember adding that line to change the default.
Indeed, as far as I can see, you added that line while *preserving* the
existing behavior and preparing the C++ variant of the pretty_print
machinery. Thus, AFAICS, 72 never existed anywhere and, strictly speaking,
there is nothing to *restore*.
I do not know what you mean by "there is nothing to restore".
Look at the other mail by Richard.  The C pretty-printer *post*-dated
the C++ pretty printer.
Hey, I don't own viewcvs, of svn, for that matter, you could also dare to help a bit with this crazy archeological task, can't you?!? I looked back only untile 70777, and that point and a bit earlier there where already no 72s around, thus, right *nothing to restore*. Now we are learning that *even earlier* we had a 72. Fine. Now, after so many years, are we ****really**** sure that our users would consider an *improvement* a 72? I'm honestly not sure at all. Again, what the best C++ front-ends around do, by default? I'm sincerely curious.

Paolo.
