Yes, all GNU projects I work on use the style with a 15-year tradition.

After people have used to write things in a certain style for 10 years -
following the example that was given by you, by GCC, glibc and other
projects - it will be hard to explain what in this style is "wrong".
Werner said that the new Emacs style is bad because it doesn't follow the
parenthesizing conventions used in plain text.
I add that the new Emacs style is bad because it doesn't allow a newline
to be inserted anywhere, i.e. it doesn't treat newline and space conceptually
the same.
What are the advantages/benefits of the new Emacs style that should
convince me and others to use it?
Bruno
