I'm sorry if [the request not to make any formatting changes] was not
too obvious from the EasyHacks page - do you think adding something
like this to the preamble would make it more clear:
please avoid larger reformatting of the code for the time being
(except for the tasks listed below) - we're pondering automagic
ways to do that mid- to long-term, but would currently rather not
make our lives harder when merging changes from OOo ?
I do think this would be helpful text to add.
Further (with exceptions, of course), automagic tools provide a much
more consistent and at least acceptable-by-all metric for how code
should look. (And I would argue that how code looks via the squint-test
is very *much* pertinent for longer term gathering of new developers.)
