Yes, that's what I meant. Documentation/process/coding-style.rst doesn't mention any specific way, but this is the most commonly used one. Indentation in this file mostly sticks to something like this as well, but yeah, it's often a mess and not consistent. That's why I note it whenever I see it, to make it eventually more consistent (and only make it a nit) :) -- Thanks, David / dhildenb
