you forgot "imo". we've had commonly accepted standards that people generally
kept to, some of which were more fuzzy than others. but we've never had a hard
80 col rule and claiming that 72 col is an improvement is pretty hard to
swallow. there's no reasonable argument for such minimal restrictions in
todays's world, and "it's always been that way" doesn't fly.

one thing that has been consistent is cuddling of the initial command. we do
not write:
if foo
then
for x in 1 2 3
do
while true
do
we have always written:
if foo ; then
for x in 1 2 3 ; do
while true ; do
as for "why consistency", i think your e-mail is a bit confused here. one on
hand you beoman lack of official hard style rules while on the other claiming
that none exist and being inconsistent is fine.
as for cache regen due to changed eclasses, meh, that happens every day, and for
eclasses more widely used than this. it's a non-issue considering the caches
are generated on servers and distributed to users.
