Without Bruce the code would become inconsistant. By : over-ruling we are essentially Essentially what? I appreciate the work that bruce has done to make things more consistant. I think that we should listen to him when it comes to matters of style since he has earned, through long hours of hard work, the right to say something about style since he's been doing something about stlye for at least as long as I've been a comitter. When I venture into a new area (say man pages or make files), he ensures that things stay ordered and consistant accross the source base. He should continue to do so, if he so chooses, imho. Makes the source base much easier to deal with. Once a consensus is reached, I believe that bde will adjust to that new consensus. The trouble is that no matter what the standards are, people will inconsistantly apply them, and bde has very sharp eyes for that.
