The clang-format tool tries to make your life easier just like the 
.dir-locals.el.
It has nothing to do with the clang (you probably mean llvm) coding style. It 
is a code formatting tool.
I am not trying to get everyone to use clang-format, but the .dir-locals.el is 
only usable for emacs users, whereas clang-format theoretically is cross-editor.
We should just try to keep the .dir-locals file and the other format 
definitions in sync so that we do not constantly have changes in the sources 
only relating to formatting.
Anyone can still use/update the emacs-specific .dir-locals file.
The editor-specific configs are in contrib/conf/editors.
