Nobody is doing that, the files I edited are not following K&R style strictly, before or after my changes. You have always treated the coding rules as a binding document even though large parts of it have not been agreed upon, much less by most of the developers, some parts it seems, not even by you.. > > > and i prefer them on the same line as well.

I doubt it. > Loosing good developers because of some fineprint in some style seems > a bad choice ... I see no risk of this happening now nor in the future.
