The complaint about various projects requiring different style would 
have been entirely valid if not for the fact that FreeBSD doesn't impose 
its own unique coding practices onto every contributor.

The differences between KNF on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and DragonFly 
BSD are as minor as to the point of being largely irrelevant.

At the end of the day, these very style conventions that are used by the 
BSD projects are even available in the style(9) manual page of the 
standard Mac OS X installation. (-:

Put it another way -- why don't you tell all the other projects, to 
which you are contributing, that all your code complies with the style 
conventions as they are documented in the style(9) manual page of the 
world's most popular Unix system? :-)

Best regards,
Constantine.
