Should we limit badge width?

[olivierlacan]

Interesting discussion I think we should have based on #70 (comment).

Logically I would say no, but there might be reasons to regret that later on. @whit537, @ackerdev, can you see an issue?

Now that I give it a moment, we should probably not allow anything longer than the usual GitHub README page can display (722 pixels as of today). I know they prevent embedded images from overflowing by using max-width: 100% on any image within the container, but the scaling involved would render the badges illegible.

We could allow unlimited-width badges for now and revisit in the future if problems arise. As @daxter points out at #70 (comment), this is really only an issue for generic badges. Where we have a vendor, the width is constrained anyway.

Yep, I remember thinking it's moot for vendors. Yeah, let's just try freedom. 😃

[chadwhitacre]

Done. :-)

@whit537 Haha, GitHub's fastly cache is screwing with you. :-)

[ackerdev]

Haha, yeah, I was about to say.

👍 to freedom. Besides, if/when this does become a problem, it's something we can control centrally so it won't require any change for users.

(Sorry for falling off the earth, by the way! Still very busy.)

@olivierlacan How about now? :-)
