Needs are curious things.

Consistency is a nicety not really a need.

Bugs need fixing.  Defects need eliminating.
Enhancements are appreciated.  Inconsistent
code style is a minor annoyance.

I suggest you focus on the bugs, defects or
enhancements in performance or testing.

Are you really cross-compiling the patches you
submit here or do you have an alpha on your desk?
