The above interpretation does not match reality. I continue to urge you
to stop describing things that you do not have enough information about
to describe accurately, especially things that relate to other people.
Statistically speaking, the probability of success for such dangerous
attempts has been close to zero (and there is no actual need to describe
those things to advance your arguments).

There is push back, of course -- any large format changes need to
justify the expenses they necessarily bring. Whether that push back is
enough to block that future PR depends, AFAICT, on Astyle formatting
results and the timing of migration to auto results. As previously
discussed, we do not want to reformat the same large set of lines twice
in a short succession.

The fact that the alleged official formatting rules are not actually
documented anywhere explains some of the inconsistencies and makes
making future rule setting easier IMO.
