THIS THING I'M WRITING NOW IS A SUBSTITUTE FOR A NOISY COMMENT ABOUT A STRONGLY HELD PERSONAL OPINION STATED AS FACT PROMINENTLY FEATURING AD HOMINEM ATTACKS AND SPELLING ERRRZ (curious to see how this compares in the UI to the comment marked "as the answer") |

If we follow the Linux style rules, i.e. we follow them as they evolve, then it should be 100 now.. But we touched on this in the TSC and established we should consider taking a specific version of the Linux guidelines as a baseline with some exceptions and additions and increase that baseline version and adapt exceptions in the future, or we should just fork the guidelines and have our own and decouple from Linux. Whatever option we take, we (Zephyr) should decide if it is going 80 or 100, not Linux :)
