This is not an answer to the question. You are suggesting that we should apply the "golden formatting" rule to minimise differences between our codebase and NetBSD's. However they are mercilessly changing code style to conform to their preferred style. To achieve your stated goal, keeping our code the same is not adequate; instead we must copy their formatting changes. I am not entirely convinced that this is a worthwhile exercise - I'd like to think we have a life of our own, and certainly *our* developer community has some fairly different ideas about how things should look. mike
