Great to see this discussion on the mailing list, rather than just comments to PRs on GitHub. And a big thanks to Bozhidar for shepherding the current style guide.
I came to Clojure from Python which has a strict standard (PEP-8) and a linting tool which enforces a standard -- it's been my experience that this provides a net benefit to code quality (and not just in terms of aesthetics). While I also don't agree with everything currently in the style guide, it does some good in our shop by providing a default to refer to which eliminates some wasted discussion time. So far the PR process on the style guide repo seems to have worked, more or less -- those in the community who care about these things can weigh in, and there at least can be a discussion before the PR is merged. Perhaps more process or formality will become appropriate later as the community grows. Regarding indentation metadata or editor customizations: I've seen Cursive/IntelliJ accept directives for indenting specific forms (usually, macros) and I'd like to be able to do that with clojure-mode in Emacs.
