No, the de facto standard even in Emacs sources is the usual GNU style. O= utside=20 of macro statements I count 142 instances of the usual GNU style, as oppo= sed to=20 only 28 instances of the K&R-ish style where "do {" is on the same line. Surely if we want to change the GNU style, we should change the coding st= andards=20 rather than just ignore them.
