Here's a saying for you:

"Only stupid people are black or white. The real world isn't".

Anyway, look at the particular document we're talking about. We're talking
about the kernel standard coding-style.

Within that one, 8-char tabs are standard. Within that one, "u8" is
standard. Within that one, typedefs are frowned upon.

In other contexts, other things are standard. Live with it.
