This has been discussed to death several times, in several different paces, 
and with no clear resolution or consensus, so I'm going to make an executive 
decision:

The coding style stays as-is. Braces are required. Please ensure that all 
patches follow the coding style. There may be exceptions, but there should be 
a *good* reason for deviation.


If there are real problems or ambiguities in the coding style then I am 
willing to consider fixing it. This particular change meets neither criteria.

By picking a single coding style we've pretty much guaranteed that most people 
will disagree with some of it. IMO consistency is more important.
