If it affects how code works, I do not consider it a style change it
is a bugfix.

If they change unrelated sections as part of a fix, I consider that a
style change, if the section was so bad it was unreadable, that is an
acceptable change as I stated above.

For the enforcement I agree, it s a lot easier with a clean base, but
it is useless to cleanup the base and then have a thousand PRs which
can 'dirty' it again. Without having an enforcement in place or to be
put in place right after the style cleanup, it really makes little
sense to me to go down this road.

Aside from the attribution issues, which I don't see  a way around, in
many cases the nature of our code makes a lot of the linting and style
checks give out false positives, specifically with modules. One
solution would be to ignore certain types of issues, but that will
also hide the actual real positives.

I'm not against having a style guide and enforcing it, I just see pure
style PRs as near useless at this point, if not counter productive.

Also I think we should be putting our efforts elsewhere right now.
