Since we are about to do a major version upgrade, should be stop being

No.
Why?
It's a huge effort for discussion and conversion effort
for practically no gain.
And it opens the gate for more such fruitless discussions
snake_style vs camelStyle
east const vs west const
getter/setter naming convention
Q prefix
namespaces
indentation
...
I also think that there are more than enough open issues
in JIRA that, when solved, would have more practical impact
than shifting around white space in the code base.
Maybe the discussion is not fruitless, even it only helps to write down
the rationale for the current style. Especially "const" is the most
interesting keyword next to pointer-star.
This is familiar:
const char *key = "word" vs. const char* key = "word"
// east-side const: char const *key...
But what its the most readable for a const pointer?
char *const key vs. char* const key
Kai.
