That may be a problem, not so much for the ancient "bsd", but for the new
ones.
After more reading, it seems that this "bsd" is in fact Allman's style, which
indeed differs for the style used by BSD projects. So, I'm pondering with
using "bsd-knf" instead (for Kernel Normal Form), which appears to be the
dedicated term (and is even documented in Wikipedia).
What I intend to do with "freebsd" and "openbsd" is to have styles reflecting
the current practice for these projects. Which means they can (in fact, most
probably will) be changed in the future according to how they amend their
style guidelines. If this policy of changes is documented, is that OK?
For those who want to use the current style for whatever project they have and
don't want it to change afterwards, we could, e.g., make "freebsd" an alias of
some "freebsd1" style (let's say, for version 1), and they would "freebsd1",
i.e., a specific version that will not change. I'm not sure if this will be
useful for some people, but at least it is cheap to do so we should probably
do it even if in the end nobody would use it.
I think I need a little bit more reading and pondering (and your answers)
before I can actually submit meaningful patches. (So the interruption might
have been a blessing.)
Thanks.
