I think "chaos" is a bit exaggerated. We already have both styles on the mailing list, and I think in general people are able to cope with that just fine. :)
As mentioned earlier, GitGitGadget now supports deep nesting of iterations, if b4 changes while GitGitGadget doesn't, it would be inconsistent in the archive. So, negotiation is necessary here.
That's a good point though -- if we change the recommendation, we should aim to change it consistently. I'll talk with Dscho (maintainer of GGG) today. Thanks! Patrick
