great! That is a relief
I would prefer that the proposal stated this explicitly so that there is no confusion.
If you are ok in principle, I'd rather not stop the vote now if we can avoid it. Perhaps you could propose new wording for a subsequent revision if you think it is important. The important thing in publishing a coding convention is that new developers joining the project can set their IDE's/editors a certain way and know if they do that they won't hit any tripwires. Just about every new developer in this project (except for you) has hit this tripwire. You were keen to it having navigated the course before. Most folks coming in to fix their bug and get out, don't have time for the traditional code formatting hazing ritual and I don't care to subject them to it anymore. This has wasted a lot of people a lot of time.
