Why is it that most well known open-source projects have formatting rules that they abide to, even if some people personally don't like them. For example, the Subversion project uses the GNU C coding style, which I don't use in any of my personal code, but I use that style when I code on that project. They went through the war, had a vote, and choose and everybody abides by it. How come we can't do the same?
I don't care what formatting rules we go with on Portfile's and would go with any standard, but I would much rather see consistency there. But I like consistency like that.

I didn't said we shouldn't have a vote. I just said that I personally prefer it like it is now and that we first should make a decision (like a vote) and then start to change the Portfiles. But if we have a vote and then a standard, then I will follow this rules of course. That is what standards are for.
