I see no evidence of this.  vinum sources don't seem to have a single
line in KNF, except accidentally.  They have an indentation of 4
instead of 8, lots of per-statement comments, lots of lines longer
than 80 characters, lots of block comments without `/*' and `*/' on
a line by themself, ...

style(9) only applies to non-contrib'ed sources. e.g., vinum :-).
