Since this argument is being repeated: I find it odd. No-one needs to even fear any amount of style comments if they simply follow the written down policy plus a tiny bit of common sense. According to my observation, (some) newcomers don't even care to look at what is being said about our style. It's not like you and I haven't been through this. When I started working with GNU toolchain, I had to adopt to their style. When I later started to work with Linux, I had to also adopt there. And then for Xen. And all of that already past closed source projects I had been working on before. Jan > consolidate the style across the codebase.
