If you suddenly forbid spaces and force our developers to use comma and nothing else, in muscle memory of their fingers and/or in their scripts, in a version merged to 'master', as long as their new habit and updated scripts use comma consistently, they work fine on 'maint', right? If there is no such "works on both sides of the flag day" choice, it is a different story, of course, but comma should work fine for us in this case. Thanks.
