and many (most?) of the files have a mix of both. So, I make the

just change tabs to spaces or vice versa. Even when done as separate
commits, those changes wreak havoc on diffs when trying to troubleshoot
regressions. I say developers just need to set their IDE to 8-chars for
tab for this project and live with it.
Doesn't the older sources clause cover your proposal in broad lines? Do
we need to be more specific?

Do you have r/o access to staging? In case you haven't:
# Coding conventions
## Indentation
Tabs are not used. Default indentation is 4 spaces.
## Other
Contributors are advised to read
<http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/codeconv-138413.html>
and try to adhere as much as possible to these conventions.
## Older sources
We do not actively search and reformat source files
that are not formatted according to this convention.
