Well this was what I was getting at in my previous comments. If we just
need to reindent < 10 files with a few random changes here and there, then
maybe that isn't so bad.
But if we have to touch every single file in the tree in a significant way,
then no way is it justified.
One way to handle this is gradual reformatting, every time when code
is touched, only changes towards common CODING_STYLE are allowed.
Small, contained reformatting patches should be also allowed, for
example to adjust brace style in one file a time or to remove spaces
at the end of line.
