What's wrong with considering what Emacs has always done, and perhaps even thinking about breaking existing code (such as what I reported)? Everything else is not equal. > I think `indent' is a better comment > style. For instance, all the Emacs sources use that style. I don't know what `comment-style' is, so it's difficult for me to discuss it. There is no doc for it that explains anything - see bug #2271. What do you mean by "all the Emacs sources use that style"? I was guessing from your previous mail that `comment-style' somehow controls `comment-region' (which is what this bug report is about), which performs an action. How can static source code be said to "use that style"? If you are referring to ;; always being indented instead of starting a line (which is not what I reported about), then no, there are plenty of source code lines that start with ;; - in file headers, for instance.
