One of the primary benefits of style rules is that they eliminate (or rather, reduce) the uncertainty and churn that comes from different reviewers having different preferences. Suppose I add a new method signature in a patch. If Alice finds a-prefixing useful and Bob does not, my likelihood of receiving a review nit depends on who's reviewing it - i.e. per-reviewer style guides, which are strictly worse than per-module style guides, which are strictly worse than a single style guide. bholley _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
