Man, the number of times I've had my code's indentation mangled up, while I 
was still maintaining the software. Sometimes I've even written in a comment 
that the indentation should be preserved.

Maks is right, these silly rules are going to be ignored because some people 
don't care.

I make an effort to keep indentation the way I find it, even on files that I 
make huge changes. Sometimes this is difficult when the file already has a 
few changes.  It's impossible when Certain Bad Seeds use Qt-style random  
indentation. But at least I try.

First, people need to respect others' style or we'll end up people reverting 
good changes because there's not a space before and after the equal sign.
