For 2.x we really don't want to reformat all code. I even think it's questionable to use 4 spaces for new files since it will mean problems for editors switching between files.
For 3.0 we really do. But as long as 2.x and 3.0 aren't too far apart I'd rather not reformat everything because it would break all merge capabilities. --Guido On 9/1/06, Jim Jewett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This 8 vs 4 is getting cruftier and cruftier.
