Adding more and more rules I do not find as a clear win. When I code GDB I have to think about so many established non-standard coding style rules my head is going to explode. Switching between multiple projects each having different coding style makes it worse. But sending a patch and getting it corrected here and there due to unwritten rules one could not find anywhere is also not great, though, I agree. Regards, Jan
