Changing indentation rules seems to me like one of the most unproductive 
things you could do, and a rule allowing two different indentations doesn't 
deserve the name rule.

The only change, I would (hesitantly) understand, would be to replace the KDE 
PIM coding style by the kdelibs one to get overall more consistency. This 
still would open the nightmare of migrating from one style to another.

Frankly, I think there are way more important things to spend time on than the 
indentation rule, so I'd avoid changing it at all. Let's focus on the 4.6 
release for example.
