I don’t think it was discussed at the time. It’s just that I like
‘package’ and ‘origin’ indented like ‘begin’, I think it’s more pleasant
to the eye. :-)

It’s a good idea to have the manual conform to the rule.
Other than that, I think it’s no big deal if some packages don’t follow
exactly this rule. I encourage people to follow this rule, but I prefer
a patch that violates it than no patch at all. I guess it’s about
finding the right balance between nitpicking and welcoming. ;-)
Importers render code with (ice-9 pretty-print), which is quite
primitive, so they cannot follow sophisticated rules.
So apart from the manual, I wouldn’t change anything.
What do people think?
