There would be more changes in each iteration (which is why we avoided
scanning everything in the beginning), but currently it is
best-effort. If nowadays there are subsystems that want to start
considering soft-enforcing `clang-format` and that is why they need
them updated as soon as possible, then we should discuss other
alternatives (please let me know if that is the case!).

For instance, we could try to somehow divide the list into individual
subsystems, so that they control it and can perform the updates at the
same time in their commits as needed.

Anyway, for the time being, we should avoid editing the list "manually".

Cheers,
Miguel
