Why? Many distros come with clang-format pre-packaged, and in fact the
original patch (that you commented on) argued for the >= 4 requirement
that way.

I am not saying we cannot change it, in fact I'd prefer if we do it
(see my answer to Nick); but I don't understand your basis to claim
nobody is installing their distro clang-format package.

Cheers,
Miguel
