But does the 70/30 split imply that it's okay for people writing new
code for libvirt to use lower_case_with_underscores or not? I'm guessing
not, especially since all your storage stuff is mixedCase, but it'd be
worth pointing out in HACKING.
My main point was that some details on what is considered to be the
libvirt coding style (aside form indentation) might help people.
