I see couple of issues that such approach will introduce:
1. Changes to the codestyle configuration will not be visible in Malhar
till the next Apex release while Apex will be affected immideately.
2. IntelliJ has codestyle plugin that relies on codestyle definition file
location. When this file is moved to a different location, switching between
releases becomes quite inconvinient.
