Preserving existing style is more important than any minor style issue anyway. Style changes for the only purpose of style change should be considered harmful and destructive behaviour. You'd think that is bloody obvious, but evidently it isn't. Not only are the untested, buggy, churning patches still being submitted - some of them are even applied! Adding such a statement will not prevent style changes, even changes to bring code more in line with CodingStyle, as long as the patches are part of some work of substance. E.g. cleaning up before fixing bugs. If you submit new code, then you can of course fix the style of any touched context. Oh well, I can dream..
