Yes, I completely agree that having CI enforce error free coding style checks is bad, and I'll see if I can get that changed on Xe CI. To my Knowledge It hasn't always been like that. But OTOH my take on this is that if there are coding style rules and recommendations we should try to follow them unless there are *strong* reasons not to. Sometimes that may result in code that may be a little harder to read, but OTOH a reviewer won't have to read up on the component's style flavor before reviewing and it will avoid future style fix patches.
