Yeah sure, we have enough time/manpower to deal with both...

I generally use new style in new ports i'm working on, but don't bother
on port updates. It really makes diffs unreadable, and as stuart said there
are far more important things to deal with when updating ports.
Imo, the only option would be to script that conversion, and eventually
commit all style fixes at once, but i don't know if someone would work
on that, and i doubt someone would triplecheck the result..
