I'm against all exceptions. I won't talk more about this issue but my
state is clearly - We discussed about using Linux CodingStyle - if that
is what we want I wouldn't make exceptions - I'd go with pure kernel
style.

There are lots of discussions in net about different coding styles and
everyone has "better" style.

I'd end this discussion with a vote - if we go to kernel coding style -
then we go - that's mostly done for 3.4 already - result is not prefect
but it's better than what we had which was total mess.

So the question is: are we going to kernel coding style which is well
defined and clear or do you want to build your own another coding style.

If we go with kernel coding style which is most used coding style in
the linux world we have clear advantages - there are lots of ready
scripts to guaratee proper style and editors have pre-defined macros
for this style.

If we end to build new style like the old "pluto" style we are
re-inventing wheel again.

I won't start any fight about the matter but I suggest that everybody
just state their opinion on this.

If you have better, READY style to use, then we can vote which one to
use but there is no idea to develop another coding style for fun -
that's not fun as I see it.

Currently I'd just vote for Kernel coding style because we don't have
anything better - nobody has yet defined better alternative.
