Hi,

Proposal would be to stop cleaning up code unless this is really needed
(and i talk about need as in when code style prevents from understanding
the code when working on new feature/fix) or when one does larger changes
in the area caused by new feature/fix for a bug (in this case you can not
avoid making changes anyway). Further, I would really rather to review
maintainer's list and let maintainers to cleanup their areas when that
wouldn't break their ongoing work.

If that sounds too much strict, could make proposal more permissive by
restricting cleanups during bcon1-2 when targets are being cleaned up on
their own and prepared for final merge. Cleanup in trunk will likely
introduce merge conflicts of trunk into this branch. This could be really
annoying when you're considering only smaller fixes remained but then
suddenly need to resolve more conflicts caused by cleanup in trunk. Could
also be demotivating.
