I agree with Andreas's points too, just not enough to go convert all our
existing code.  So again, it's really a question of sticking with the old
K&R style for consistency vs. allowing a mix of old and new styles.

That sounds reasonable in theory but awkward in practice, and I could see
it leading to oscillation when two obstinate people with different
preferences both work on the same file.  Not that we have any obstinate
people among our developers... ;-).  Of course, not requiring consistency
at all could lead to oscillation too, but at least it would be local.
