I think there might be a miscommunication here.  I think Stefan
alluded to editing source files outside of Emacs (more generally,
outside the GNU Project), where the style is different and not under
any control by us.  Those source files could violate this convention,
and we will not be able to do anything about that, except adapt Emacs
to handle them reasonably well.
