We are supposed to use spaces rather than tabs and indentation
should be 4 spaces according to the included standard
(http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConvTOC.doc.html). However,
we also allowed ourselves plenty of wiggle room in old code.
Well there were quite a few rumblings during the vote so I am not
totally sure it passed or at least that consensus was reached.
Do rumblings nullify the results of a vote? According to the voting
guidelines [1], votes on procedural issues have passed if there are more
favourable votes than unfavourable ones, which I think was the case in
that vote. Also, no one can veto a vote on a procedural issue.

I think the vote technically passed but the support for it was weak
compared to other issues we have voted on. I suspect that weak support
translates into weak enforcement. In any event, awareness of the
approved standard will improve if we clean up the contributors' checklist.
