Why would everything else be equal? What's wrong with considering what Emacs has
always done, and perhaps even thinking about breaking existing code (such as
what I reported)? Everything else is not equal.

I don't know what `comment-style' is, so it's difficult for me to discuss it.
There is no doc for it that explains anything - see bug #2271.
What do you mean by "all the Emacs sources use that style"? I was guessing from
your previous mail that `comment-style' somehow controls `comment-region' (which
is what this bug report is about), which performs an action. How can static
source code be said to "use that style"?
If you are referring to ;; always being indented instead of starting a line
(which is not what I reported about), then no, there are plenty of source code
lines that start with ;; - in file headers, for instance.
