If we deviate from widespread standards, we should have reasons to back our deviation. More acutely, my module does not currently use `aFoo`, and our (few) contributors do not use use or like it. `aFoo` gets in the way for us. Recently, there has been pressure to unify the module's style with "the rest" of Gecko. The main complaint I have with Gecko style is `aFoo` being required. Vague desires for `aFoo` are not compelling. There needs to be solid reasons. If there are no compelling reasons, the requirement should be removed. We have deprecated style before, and we can do it again. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
