I agree that there are some things I might change about the kernel's style
choices, but I think it is more important that we remain consistent with the
kernel as a whole. I really like tools that enforce things like this, even if
I don't agree 100% with the results.

Well, I think it is a little early to say there are no big surprises, we won't
know that for a few more weeks, but if we make it to -rc3/4 without any
problems I'll breathe a bit easier ;)
