@Tony: exactly what Rowan said. We will not change a single line of
code, and nobody will be forced to do anything. **UNLESS** the code is
meant to become part of the core of PHP. In that case it must follow the
rules, the rules that are part of the coding standard. It is fine if you
change your coding style in every file in your project where you are the
only person working on. However, we are a team if changing members, and
having a consistent code style helps newcomers to get into the code
base. It, hopefully, helps future maintainers to cope better with the
legacy code we are producing every day.

Feel free to disagree with this, but this is reality here, and these
kind of policies are established as part of any professional code base
in the world.

It matters to a lot of people, and that is why it should matter for us.
We are leaders of an unbelievably huge community and we must address
their concerns. Sometimes those concerns are complete bullshit, in that
case we can and should ignore them, but in this case we actually already
have a policy, it is just incomplete and I am asking to complete it. ;)
