I've just noticed that there have been a few purely style related patches being landed in the tree recently, I don't believe these are a good idea and that any further reformatting only patches be rejected.

Historically we have avoided purely style related changes as they impact our ability to track code changes efficiently and make patch merging more complex. The general approach to code cleanup is to clean up regions of code as we work in them -- this means that more-or-less the only code effected by reformatting is code that was being modified anyway.

Does anyone disagree with this approach?
