(I don't think the situation with 2.2.6 changed from the one with 2.2.4. I
don't see a 2.4 release within the year happening. And a 2.2.6 with only
library fixes is better than no release for over an year (*) )

I don't care much about reformattings either. As long as the block structure
is readable, which is also the only case I would like an exception: some
codebases don't put begin on a newline. Ugh.
(*) And that's a planning year. So the usual release delays excluded.
