Hi all,

This mail is mostly targeted to UI Devs but everyone should feel free to jump 
in.

Since a few months now the UI Development team has been gradually implementing 
code style changes throughout the code base.
The rule of thumb is that you should apply the predefined SDK styling rules to 
the code you change, even if you didn't write it yourself.
As of lately, we've been really strict about this and don't let anything 
through because of a double quote or a missing space.

I'd like to propose we stop reopening for styling issues, but instead comment 
in the ticket that there were styling issues remaining and the assignee should 
pay closer attention to avoiding those in the future.
The reason for this is that code review as strict as this is stalling 
development speed and cutting morale.

Nico has a proposition as well; we change all remaining issues in one go and 
create a test that checks for the most common code styling issues.
We'd preferably do this after 1.4.0 has been released and at a time where it's 
most convenient for devs (to avoid loads of merge conflicts).

I wanted to raise this before the UI Development call tonight, so everyone can 
form an opinion and bring it up during that call.

Cheers,
- Bert
