IMO that would be undesirable. It would condone the idea that multiple styles is acceptable, which goes against recent consensus and actions. It's mostly academic, anyway, since we don't have automated tools that work well enough to use in practice. In contrast, manual refactoring has been happening with some success. E.g. MFBT now uses Gecko style, and lots of XPCOM has had its style fixed.
