I don't think it's anything like that.  Some people want rules - they 
just want *their* rules.  I happen to think general coding standards are 
a good thing, I just happen to disagree with half of your suggestions. 
And I don't want to get involved in the discussion because I know that 
*other people* will disagree with a different half.

Most of those who don't want rules probably just realize the 
improbability of coming to any agreement.

The only good way, in my opinion, to get coding standards in an open 
source community is to have the few people who start the project agree 
on them at that time and enforce it with the rest of the code going in. 
  Currently there are *way* too many people invested in the project to 
possibly come up with agreement.

Now, can we get back to those arrow assignment glyphs and licenses that 
Ned and Cees were talking about...  :D
