Let me make a case here for having this one time cleanup today. And making sure we decrease those glaring checkstyle violations. 60-70% of it. With over 2K violations, I am sure no on is going to fix them any time soon. And when new code comes the new errors will keep piling with the rest. So, lets have it now. This mass change fixed the majority. It created some edge cases which could be hand cleaned. Later we can have some form of Hackathon where we can fix the rest of it. Reverting at this point is pretty easy too. Plus my commits are package by package. So easy to roll back on any particular block without disturbing the rest. Robin
