I think the right way to propose this kind of policy change is to get agreement on how style(9) should be modified — not arbitrarily go against style(9) in some files. The proposed change may be somewhat contentious and it might be a good exercise to go through the FreeBSD Community Process. I might separate these two concerns: 1. Allowing local / block scoped variables 2. Allowing C99 for loop initial declarations But I could see the argument that (2) is just a boring subset of (1).
