Hi John, dnsmasq is quite interesting piece of software. It is used by lot different kind of projects. I think noone objected dnsmasq isn't useful or Simon does not work on it.
But as with everything, there is always some space for improvements. There is no reason why Simon should stop working on project just because we have seen some issues. Though Simon has specific code style that is unusual on different project. It is his decision, okay with that. Just keep the codebase consistent. When I am against forced reformatting like someone here suggested, I think some easy checks might be done before commiting changes. For example, git diff would show in red whitespaces on lines without anything else or after code before end of line. These are not nice and I would like them removed. I think we all understand this is open source project. We are just trying to make code more readable and nicer. We also offer helping hands. Are you sure we should stop that?
