Well, for things like the `return` one, I find it unlikely it will change.

And for other things that there are 2 ways of doing it, what we
typically want is to have one way of doing it, rather than allowing
both ways.

The scope is already defined -- it is global, precisely because we
want to keep all kernel code as consistent as possible.

What is not objective about wanting to be consistent? How is your

Who is *blindly* following formatters and linters? We don't have
objective reasons?

I don't appreciate the way you are wording things here.

Does it actually lead to "less ideal code", or the opposite?
