Uoti hadn't break anything written in a decent way, given how many
feedbacks I had on my thread about it not so many even know why/which
are really the rules, let alone where they are (hint: ffmpeg coding
style is spread in the ml and not available in the svn, mplayer rules
are spread in different files and with not so clear statements).

So there is a reason to write them back in a decent shape and to give an
example how to fix such issue by properly committing it.

In your dreams? there is no defined/unarguable policy.

It is.

by SOMEBODY (me included btw)

He is just giving feedback, still something IMHO.

Yawn...

I like meritocracy...

We don't have a such high voice since most of the complainers:

- didn't committed anything meaningful in a long while
- didn't work on that code to begin with

So if we use such metrics most of the complainers vote is 0,01 others?

Please do.
