Why? Many distros come with clang-format pre-packaged, and in fact the original patch (that you commented on) argued for the >= 4 requirement that way. I am not saying we cannot change it, in fact I'd prefer if we do it (see my answer to Nick); but I don't understand your basis to claim nobody is installing their distro clang-format package.
